A pump.fun graduation is the moment a bonding-curve coin fills and seeds a real Raydium pool. Learning to monitor it is about keeping a continuous watch so you react the moment it changes.

The signals that matter

When you are monitoring a pump.fun graduation, these are the concrete signals to focus on:

• Market cap approaching the graduation threshold
• A surge of buying near completion
• The new Raydium pool being created
• A relief pump or immediate dump after
• Pre-graduation buyers now sitting on the open pool

Where to look

You will mostly observe a pump.fun graduation in the bonding-curve progress and the new-pool creation on Raydium. To monitor it, go straight to these sources rather than relying on chat or hype.

To monitor it: the steps

1. Set up a continuous watch rather than a one-time look.
2. Decide which threshold change actually requires action.
3. React promptly when that threshold is crossed.
4. Use alerts to remove the need to stare at it constantly.

The mistake almost everyone makes
