Step 4: Monitor Price & Sell (If You Want)

Every token on Pump.Fun uses a bonding curve , so prices increase as more people buy. You can:

  • Track how many buyers are in the pool
  • Sell instantly by clicking the “Sell” button on the token page

Note: Selling triggers a small tax (~1%) and the price may drop fast if many exit.

🧠 Tips for Memecoin Trading on Pump.Fun

  • DYOR (Do Your Own Research): Check the Telegram/X activity before buying
  • Don’t ape too hard : Most coins pump and dump fast — be ready to lose what you put in
  • Set your targets : If you’re up 2x or 3x, take profits

⚠️ Risks and Warnings

Trading memecoins is highly speculative. Many tokens are:

  • Made as jokes or experiments
  • Not backed by any project or utility
  • Pumped by influencers and dumped hours later

Always trade responsibly, and never invest more than you’re willing to lose.
