What a Pump Trending alert means
A Pump Trending alert means a pump.fun token is ranking on the launchpad's trending view.
Momentum alerts show that something is moving, not why. Hud Dock reads Pump Trending on Solana as a question: who is driving the move, and can the pool absorb it?
Hud Dock tracks Pump Trending because moves show up there first. The desk then compares volume with liquidity, holder count and wallet spread before it treats a move as real.
Start here: Check whether the move started before or after the first public call. Divide 24-hour volume by liquidity. A very high ratio can mean churn between a few wallets.

Screening rule
Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Hud Dock made for Pump Trending alerts:
liquidity at least $5.0K
top-10 wallets holding at most 30 %
In the 48 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 12 hours), 42 passed this screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $76.7K, median liquidity of $23.4K and about 544 holders. 3 out of 48 alerts showed a pool smaller than a tenth of the cap — a warning sign on its own. Across the whole lane, the ten largest wallets held a median 17 % of supply.

The checklist
Run these on every contract, in this order.
Step 1
Check whether mint and freeze authorities are revoked where the chain allows them.
Step 2
Look again after an hour, because early data on thin tokens shifts quickly.
Step 3
Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong.
Step 4
Open the deployer wallet and read its earlier launches.
Step 5
Copy the full contract address from the alert, never the ticker.
Step 6
See whether other Empire channels alerted the same contract and when.
