Revenue growth and new partnership boost trading activity post-upgrade

The Pyth DAO approved the '100% Rule' (OP-PIP-136) on October 8, 2026, mandating that all revenue from Pyth products be allocated to monthly PYTH token buybacks for the project's reserve. Pyth Network reported Q3 2026 revenue growth of 86.5%, reaching $11.49 million. Trading volumes have significantly exceeded the recent 30-day average following the announcement of a new partnership with ExaAILabs to integrate Pyth's market data for advanced AI applications.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the rapid 12.96% jump in PYTH amid news of enforced token buybacks and revenue growth. He sees the '100% Rule' as a strong short-term catalyst, but remains wary of overreliance on buybacks for sustained value. He points out that technical strength is clear, but the asset shows increasing intraday volatility, raising the risk of sharp reversals. Kharitonov stresses that momentum indicators remain bullish, yet if $0.0855 fails, the correction could accelerate. He cautions, "Despite the bullish setup, I would be watching for profit-taking and signs of fading volume before chasing further highs here."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes Pyth’s fundamentals are strengthening fast. He highlights the decisive DAO approval and 86.5% revenue growth as major tailwinds for institutional and retail sentiment. With the '100% Rule' locking in regular token buybacks and partnerships like ExaAILabs driving adoption, he views the market structure as primed for sustained appreciation. Karapetjanc says, "PYTH’s bullish structure remains intact and I expect further growth as healthy revenue and ecosystem expansions shape support for new highs."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes strong alignment across all key moving averages and bullish signals from momentum tools. He notes price volatility has spiked, which may set up for tactical pullbacks or a sharp breakout above $0.1008. Mehta views the consolidation range as pivotal for short-term traders seeking tactical setups. He states, "If the price closes decisively above the $0.1008 level, I’d consider that a trigger for renewed bullish trading activity."

Technical breakout as bullish momentum confirms buyers’ dominance

PYTH/USD is trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages (currently at $0.0788, $0.0647, and $0.0483, respectively), signaling sustained bullish momentum in the short, medium, and long term. The current move is confirmed by a bullish medium-to-long term trend alignment, with the next near-term ceiling at $0.1008 and support at $0.0908. Momentum indicators suggest strong upward pressure. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) both point to firm buy signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are in bullish territory, with RSI at 62.36 and CCI at 87.62, indicating moderate strength without overbought extremes. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive at 0.007, confirming buyers are dominating intraday action. The pair advanced $0.0107 or 12.96% on the day following an upside gap of about 3.02%. The price is near the day’s high with intraday volatility at 10.42%, indicating strong momentum carrying through the session.

Earlier, analysts noted that sustained buybacks by the Pyth DAO and strong revenue growth were reinforcing a bullish outlook for the asset. The latest surge in price and momentum following the adoption of the '100% Rule' and new partnership developments further strengthen this view, with the key level to watch now at the $0.1008 resistance for a potential breakout.
