1 tweet from pumpfun about expansion and it’s -70% candle on this

Idk if anybody remembers last cycle, but I didn’t like Thorchain because what if a big defi protocol makes a bridge as one of their *many* features (and they did and it went to 0)"

Churning is the next phase.

> **Visual Note:** A TradingView candlestick chart for **$RUNE (THORChain)** with key price zones marked, including a highlighted "Breakout Zone" near $0.53–$0.55 and an RSI indicator below. The chart visually supports the analysis, showing RUNE pulling back toward the $0.46–$0.48 retest zone with potential upside targets marked at $0.54, $0.60, and $0.68 on the right-side price axis.  

> 
> "RUNE is starting to look VERY interesting again. 

I’m not chasing the pump.

I want to see 
$RUNE
 retest the $0.46–$0.48 zone and hold it.

If buyers step back in there, 

I’m watching:$0.54 → $0.60 → $0.68

Lose the retest and the setup changes."
