Revenue growth and AI partnership bolster sentiment after buyback rule

The Pyth Network DAO approved the 100% Rule (OP-PIP-136) on October 8, requiring all revenue from Pyth products to be allocated to monthly PYTH token buybacks for the project’s reserve. Pyth also reported Q3 2026 revenue growth of 86.5% to $11.49 million, which is linked to the increased buyback activity. Additionally, Pyth Network formed a partnership with ExaAILabs to integrate its market data layer for advanced AI applications.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the latest surge in PYTH as mainly driven by the recent DAO approval of the 100% Rule, which channels all platform revenue into token buybacks. He notes that the technical structure appears strong, but warns the rally rests heavily on ongoing buyback flows rather than organic demand. Kharitonov highlights risks signaled by oscillators such as the Stochastic RSI, pointing to short-term overbought conditions. He emphasizes the high level of intraday volatility and the susceptibility to a pullback if the buyback pace slows. "Without sustained external demand, these levels could quickly unwind if sentiment shifts or buyback activity falters," Kharitonov cautions.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the DAO’s 100% Rule and notable revenue growth as pivotal drivers for PYTH. He believes fundamentals are strengthening with direct tie-ins between platform performance and token value, further buoyed by strategic partnerships. The bullish structure remains intact with clear signals from technical and sentiment indicators. Forward-looking, Karapetjanc expects the market to offer multiple setups as confidence in the project increases. "With momentum and fundamentals aligned, further growth for PYTH looks likely," he says.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, is cautious on PYTH despite the bullish reaction to the DAO decision. He notes the price action is susceptible to short-term corrections as volatility remains elevated and some oscillators signal a potential reversal. Dele observes that broader macro risks or shifts in overall crypto sentiment could quickly unsettle the current trend. "Traders should not ignore the warning signs from volatility and overbought signals — staying defensive here is wise," Dele states.

Upside reinforced as key averages and resistance guide momentum

PYTH/USD is trading above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages at $0.0781, $0.064, and $0.0481, respectively, confirming a strong bullish structure across short, medium, and long-term trends. The prevailing momentum is further supported with the next resistance at the near-term ceiling of $0.0908 and potential support at the near-term floor of $0.0855, as Ichimoku Kijun at $0.0735 and the bullish MA-50 vs MA-200 alignment also reinforce the longer-term uptrend.

Earlier, analysts noted that despite sustained sell pressure and policy-driven buybacks, Pyth’s price action favored consolidation or downside movement. The current shift to strong bullish momentum and sustained trading above key moving averages now puts focus on a potential break above $0.0908 as the next level to watch.
