13 hourly candles reviewed (03:00–15:00 UTC on June 6, 2026). The token launched from a low of $0.0000167 (candle [13] low) and has trended upward with significant volatility. Candles [13]–[11] show a volatile base-building phase with wide wicks. Candle [10] (06:00) marks the beginning of a sustained uptrend, with higher lows and higher highs through candle [1] (15:00), which posted the session high of $0.0001460. Volume peaked in candle [12] ($19.4K) and candle [2] ($17.4K), with candle [4] also elevated ($15.3K). The most recent candle [1] closed at $0.0001355 with a high of $0.0001460, forming a slight upper wick suggesting some resistance at the top.

Clear short-term uptrend from the $0.0000167 low (candle [13]) to the $0.0001460 high (candle [1]), representing a ~775% intraday move. The pattern shows higher lows from candle [11] onward: $0.0000234 → $0.0000237 → $0.0000315 → $0.0000435 → $0.0000549 → $0.0000575 → $0.0001123. Medium-term trend is also upward given the 30-day context, though the token was essentially dormant until June 5–6.

Key Price Levels

Immediate support sits at the candle [1] low of $0.0001120, which was the breakout level from the prior hour's range. A break below $0.0000795 (candle [3] close) would signal a deeper retracement toward the $0.0000575 zone. On the upside, the session high of $0.0001460 is the first resistance; a clean break above would open the door to $0.0001800+ psychological targets.

Holder growth is dramatically accelerating, driven entirely by the June 6 price event. From May 7 to May 29, the token had exactly 17 holders with zero net change — a 22-day flat period suggesting the token was essentially inactive or held by a small founding group. Growth began slowly in late May/early June (reaching 55 holders by June 5), then exploded to 368 holders in the following 24h (+323, +88%). The 7d and 30d growth rates are both 95% because virtually all growth occurred in the last 24h. The +47 holders in the last hour alone (+13%) shows the momentum is still active at time of analysis. However, this rapid retail influx during a price spike is a classic FOMO pattern and may not represent durable holder accumulation.

The top 10 holders control 35.61% of supply and the top 100 control 90.41% — extremely concentrated for a token with only 368 holders. The #1 holder (F9R6CnNMDAkDoAmZWgvHB686ZhnKwCDYyZFrQHG61evK at 11.97%) matches the PumpSwap pair address listed in the metadata, indicating this is the DEX liquidity pool — not a whale accumulating. Holders #2 through #10 each hold 1.66%–3.79%, consistent with early individual buyers or possible team/insider wallets given the 22-day dormancy period. The distribution across positions 2–20 is relatively even (1.24%–3.79%), which is mildly positive, but the overall 90.41% top-100 concentration in a 368-holder token is very high. Sentiment is assessed as distributing given the 72.2% sell volume dominance.

Liquidity is critically shallow at $24.88K on a single PumpSwap pool (F9R6CnNMDAkDoAmZWgvHB686ZhnKwCDYyZFrQHG61evK). With an FDV of ~$134K–$145K, the liquidity-to-FDV ratio is approximately 17–19%, which is low and means even moderate sell orders will cause significant price impact. The 24h sell volume of $100.1K is 4x the total liquidity — indicating the pool has been heavily stressed. Net flow is clearly outflow: 656 unique sellers vs 290 unique buyers, and sell volume ($100.1K) is 2.6x buy volume ($38.5K). This is a significant red flag suggesting distribution by early holders into retail FOMO buyers. Slippage risk is high for any position size above a few hundred dollars.

Total supply is ~999.9M tokens (effectively 1 billion), consistent with a standard PumpFun/PumpSwap launch. The FDV ranges from $134.5K (metadata) to $145.1K (analytics), reflecting the rapidly moving price. The update authority is held by TSLvdd1pWpHVjahSpsvCXUbgwsL3JAcvokwaKt1eokM — this is NOT a burn address and has NOT been renounced, meaning the metadata could theoretically be modified. The token is marked as 'mutable: false' which partially mitigates this concern, but the non-renounced authority is still a risk factor. Mint and freeze authority status are not explicitly provided in the metadata; given the PumpFun origin (D9msuWXNknQmyuvbL8EKejz8Vbps3CseiQDdBDr4pump suffix), mint authority is typically burned at launch on PumpFun, but this cannot be confirmed from the data provided. The contract is unverified, adding additional uncertainty. Rug risk from authorities is assessed as medium — the mutable:false flag and PumpFun origin provide some comfort, but the active update authority prevents a clean 'low' rating.

Screwworm is a pure narrative meme token riding a real-world news event (screwworm parasite comeback warning). It has demonstrated explosive initial momentum (+605% in 24h) but faces severe structural headwinds: shallow liquidity, extreme sell pressure, high concentration, and an unrenounced update authority. The investment case is entirely speculative and time-sensitive — the narrative window is narrow and the token's survival depends on sustained media attention and new capital inflows.
