Opinion: PUMP 1CO Allocation May Sell Out Within an Hour, Market Cap Expected to Drop to $2.5 Billion Before Surging to $20 Billion

Odaily Planet Daily reported that MoonRock Capital CEO Simon posted on X, stating, “Although the general public tends to dislike it, I believe that behind the scenes, many whales are already eager to rush into PUMP. That’s why I think Saturday’s ICO will sell out in less than an hour. The hype will be very real, and expectations for the TGE will be high. However, when PUMP starts trading next week, I doubt its valuation will be much higher than $5 billion. Many people who are just looking for a quick flip will be disappointed, and their trades will be invalidated. They’ll sell off, and the price will start to drop. Then panic mode will set in. Social media will be flooded with people claiming they were right all along—$PUMP was just a cash grab from retail investors, a scam full of empty promises, and so on. As a result, the price will fall below the ICO level, possibly down to $2.5–3 billion. At that point, the Pump team, some level-headed traders, and long-term fundamentals-focused investors will buy in decisively, scooping up large amounts of PUMP from panic sellers and weak hands. The supply will shift from short-term speculators to long-term holders. Then comes a revenge rally—the most unpopular market will shoot straight to a $20 billion valuation. Obviously, this is just speculation, but I estimate there’s a 70–80% chance it will play out this way.”
