The signals that matter

When you are tracking 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

2. Re-check the signals on a regular cadence, not once.
3. Watch the rate of change, which matters more than any single reading.
