A pump.fun launch-day volume checklist

Launching today? Here is the order of operations to get noticed without nuking your own chart — fund, warm up, sustain, taper.

Before launch: fund the boss wallet, set a volume budget, and pick a strategy (micro-trade for steady presence, wave for bursts around news).

First 30 minutes: warm up gently — a clean two-sided tape, not a vertical green candle that invites dumpers. Let real buyers see organic-looking flow.

Sustain: keep balanced round-trips running while you promote. Presence compounds: volume earns ranking, ranking earns eyeballs, eyeballs earn real volume.

Taper: wind down rather than cutting dead — a sudden volume cliff is as obvious as a spike. Then let the interest you attracted carry it.
