Binance Alpha Airdrop Triggers PUFFER Distribution and Volume Surge

On May 12, Binance included the PUFFER token in its Alpha Program, launching a targeted airdrop to eligible users. The program granted 362 PUFFER tokens to each selected user.

Participants with more than 186 Alpha Points automatically qualified for the airdrop. A second eligibility tier included users with 147 to 185 Alpha Points whose Binance UIDs ended in “5.” These users were selected based on predefined program conditions, not random draws.

The airdrop also drew attention across crypto-focused platforms. PUFFER was widely discussed on X, where users shared screenshots of their airdrop allocations and commented on the eligibility criteria. The token briefly ranked among the most-mentioned new assets following Binance Alpha, contributing to short-term trading momentum.

PUFFER Token Forms Rising Wedge Pattern After Binance Alpha Airdrop

On May 13, 2025, PUFFER/USDT formed a rising wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart, according to data from Bybit via TradingView. The pattern appeared after the Binance Alpha Airdrop, during which the PUFFER token price rose above $0.30 before pulling back sharply.

A rising wedge is a bearish pattern where both the support and resistance lines slope upward, but the support slope is steeper. This formation often signals weakening momentum, especially after a strong uptrend. When the price breaks below the lower support line of the wedge, it usually indicates a continuation to the downside.

In this case, the PUFFER token has already dropped by 15% from the pattern’s upper trendline. The token is now trading at $0.2491, slightly above the 50-period exponential moving average (EMA) at $0.2406.

If the breakdown is confirmed, PUFFER token may decline another 25%, reaching the $0.1986 level. This target matches the height of the wedge projected downward. The volume spike during the drop supports this bearish move, as rising volume during a breakdown typically confirms the pattern.

The relative strength index (RSI) is currently at 47.72, which is neutral but now leans bearish. It shows a shift from the earlier overbought level of 59.52. The RSI line has crossed below the signal line, signaling that momentum is weakening.

At the same time, the 975.88K volume confirms increased activity during the correction. The EMA now acts as the immediate support level. If the price closes below this average, selling pressure may increase further.

This chart follows the recent surge in PUFFER token, linking it to the Binance Alpha Airdrop and its integration into the BNB Chain ecosystem. The rising wedge now highlights a shift in the price structure and the beginning of a possible short-term downtrend.
