Has the $AURA Pump Peaked? Traders Begin Profit-Taking Amid Net Outflows

Following an explosive several-day rise that resulted in many traders turning five-figure positions into million-dollar paydays, there are signs emerging that AURA may be heading back to a cooler price range. 

Of course, that would be great news for anyone who got in early and is still riding AURA up. However, dolphin traders who got in during the last couple of weeks may want to be wary of the recent netflow data that suggests AURA is beginning to be distributed, with the price on AURA potentially in a cooldown stage.

A single whale has taken $119,000 and turned it into $1.6 million in less than a week and is now offloading millions of tokens. Is this just healthy profit-taking, or is it a sign that the pump has officially run its course?

Whale Wallets Start Taking Profits

A recent flurry of trading around $AURA has seen a single trader capturing most of the attention—converting a $119,000 buy into more than $1.6 million in just six days. This same trader had already aggressively accumulated 10.1 million $AURA tokens at an average entry price of $0.0118 during the early stages of the rally.

Subsequent to this, a string of large sales has been set in motion by this wallet:

  • 2.57M tokens sold for $203,000
  • 1.04M tokens sold for $193,600
  • 2.03M tokens sold for $337,800
  • Other smaller sales when taken together comprise another $293,600.

Overall, the trader has divested about 7.7 million tokens for profits amounting to $1.03 million. They still hold a token balance that lowers their profit figures substantially. Even so, with approximately 7.7 million in the wind and the price having nearly doubled since the previous local low, it looks as though this trader’s token stash has been put on blast in the market. Performance like this is impressive, for sure (and the price seems to be bucking the low-cap trend of late; just look at the price action and token psychology involved). But when one person is pulling out all the stops, this is not the kind of action that’s good for the health of a market.

Net Outflows Suggest Sentiment Shift

The notion that overall sentiment around $AURA is changing is appeared to be supported by on-chain data. It looks like we hit a peak in inflows during the most recent rally.

At this point, we have recorded back-to-back daily net outflows.

Yesterday, the total outflow was $621K.

AURA seems to be in the process of reversing its trajectory.

Today’s figures, though not as eye-catching, keep the same movement going:

  • Inflows: $350,220  
  • Outflows: $426,370  
  • Netflow: -$76,150

Even though the back-to-back days of net outflows are not disastrous, they do indicate increasing sell pressure and diminishing buyer enthusiasm at present price points. Market veterans are seeing this kind of play out already—it’s reminiscent of Titcoin, of our friends at Moonpig, of how many kinds of meme assets have behaved. They explode in hype and then rapidly deflate as early holders cash out.

This type of flow dynamic—when capital begins to leave steadily while token holders are still mostly in profit—tends to precede much sharper retracements. That is especially true for tokens that have thin liquidity or are held in a concentrated way.

What’s Next for $AURA?

The primary issue at stake is whether $AURA can hold at these new heights or if it’s primed for a swift downturn. Much hinges on whether new buyers will come in to keep the price supported and whether those who already hold the asset will be strong enough to withstand the temptation to sell and head for the exits, following those who took profits very early in this move.

Some optimists argue that if the project can deliver on community engagement and product rollout in the near term, the current dip could represent a buying opportunity rather than the end of the road.

Others point to a broader pattern seen across altcoins this cycle—where meme or narrative-driven rallies are often short-lived, with liquidity drying up as soon as the hype fades.

Market participants should also keep watch over the token’s trading volume, the chatter on social media, and listings on exchanges. These are vital indicators of whether interest in $AURA can be maintained.

Currently, the data indicates we should proceed with caution. With substantial profits already booked, net outflows piling up, and the resemblance to past pump-and-dump schemes becoming all too clear, $AURA is likely facing a spell of consolidation—or possibly a sharp correction—unless it finds some new catalysts pronto.

Investors should be on the lookout for additional whale movements, trading across exchanges, and the general mood of the market before they jump in and make any new investments in what has been this season’s most profitable, albeit now most ambiguous, opportunity.
