My main reason for watching PONS is not the hype around the meme coin. It is the combination of high trading activity, extreme volatility, and the possibility of a momentum reset after the recent sell-off.
PONS pushed close to $0.97 earlier this month, but the move has since been heavily retraced. With price around $0.55 and 24-hour volume near $193M, there is still enough activity for the token to make sharp moves in either direction.
That is exactly why I don't want to chase it.
After a move of this size, my first priority is to find out whether the pullback is creating a new base or simply turning into a deeper downtrend. The $0.53–$0.55 zone is the first area I’m watching because it sits close to the current daily low. If buyers repeatedly defend this area while volume returns, the setup becomes much more interesting.
My strategy
I would divide the trade into confirmation stages rather than entering with the full position immediately.
Stage 1 — Watch the support:
I want to see PONS hold around $0.53–$0.55 instead of continuously making lower lows.
Stage 2 — Wait for momentum:
A bounce by itself is not enough. I want to see stronger buying volume accompanying the recovery. That would suggest buyers are actually participating rather than a temporary relief bounce.
Stage 3 — Reclaim resistance:
The $0.65 area becomes an important recovery checkpoint. Above that, $0.72 would be the next major area I would watch. Reclaiming these levels with convincing volume would improve the bullish structure.
Stage 4 — Risk control:
If PONS loses the $0.50 psychological level decisively, I would not keep averaging down simply because the price looks cheaper. The invalidation of the setup is more important than trying to predict the bottom.
My preferred approach here is therefore confirmation over prediction. I would rather enter after the market proves that buyers are returning than buy every red candle on the way down.
PONS has already demonstrated that it can move extremely fast. That creates opportunity, but it also makes position sizing and stop discipline even more important.
The main thing I'm watching isn't whether PONS can pump again. It's whether buyers can build a strong enough base to justify the next move.
No FOMO. No blind dip buying.
Let the price confirm the trade.

U.S. Treasury Just Tripled Its Bond Buyback — But Look at the Yield
The U.S. Treasury announced a buyback of up to $6 billion of 10- to 20-year Treasury bonds on Thursday.
At first glance, $6 billion sounds massive. But the important part is the context: the U.S. Treasury market is worth more than $32 trillion. Against that size, the buyback is still relatively modest.
What makes this more interesting is the change in scale.
The operation is three times the normal size, and the Treasury has committed to conducting future operations of at least $4 billion. That tells me the focus is not just on one transaction, but on improving conditions in the longer-duration part of the bond market.
Yet the market is still under pressure.
The 10-year Treasury yield touched 4.84%, its highest level since November 2023. That is the number I would pay more attention to than the headline buyback figure.
A larger buyback can support liquidity and remove some securities from the market, but $6 billion is tiny compared with the overall Treasury market. If yields remain elevated despite the larger operation, it shows that the bigger forces driving bonds are still firmly in control.
And this matters far beyond Treasuries.
Long-term yields influence borrowing costs, valuations and investor risk appetite across global markets. When yields stay high, higher-risk assets have to compete with increasingly attractive returns from government bonds.
So my takeaway is simple: don't trade the $6B headline — watch the 10-year yield.
If 4.84% becomes a level the market can hold above, the pressure on risk assets could become more important. If yields cool back down, the Treasury's liquidity measures may start looking more meaningful.
For now, the headline is big.
The market impact still has to prove it.
