Marlin's POND token is trading near $0.002288 as of 04:40 PM UTC on September 26, 2026. This POND price prediction update arrives right after a sharp breakout from a multi-month descending channel. Anyone comparing this against other price prediction coverage will notice how thin the prior volume was.
Momentum flipped fast. But the setup still carries real risk. Resistance sits close to $0.003282, while support now rests near $0.001348. The Binance delisting from July still shadows this recovery. Every figure below comes from live trading snapshots, not guesswork.

POND is changing hands around $0.002288, up roughly 151% on the day. Market cap sits near $18.94 million, with a fully diluted value of $22.88 million. Volume over 24 hours reached $14.59 million, a huge jump against typical liquidity.

POND Support and Resistance Levels
Immediate support holds near $0.001348, the low of the breakout candle. Deeper support waits at $0.000665, close to the September low. Immediate resistance sits at $0.003282, the recent high. Breakout resistance lines up with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension near $0.003627. Full candle history is visible on GeckoTerminal's live chart.
RSI 14 reads 90.36 on the daily chart. That's deeply overbought. Momentum is strong, and no divergence shows yet. But readings this high rarely hold for long without a pullback.
The MACD line trades at 0.000180, above a signal line near 0.000056. The histogram is rising and green, confirming trades are pushing in one direction. Price also trades far above its 100-day EMA of $0.001071. That gap alone should worry short-term buyers.
A trading range holding above $0.002000, paired with rising volume, opens a path toward $0.003282 and then $0.003627.
A fade back under $0.001800 with fading volume points toward $0.001348 and possibly $0.001071.
A daily close under $0.001348 cancels the bullish structure outright. Full stop.
October likely brings a wide range between $0.001348 and $0.003627. Support and resistance stay as outlined above. The main catalyst remains whether Oyster-related adoption news lands, tracked alongside other listings on the exchange listing calendar. Bitcoin's direction still matters more than any single $POND headline.
Scenario | Price Range | Required Condition | Main Driver | Invalidation |
Bear | 0.0007-0.0013 | Breakdown below channel | Liquidity weakness | $0.000665 |
Base | 0.0018-0.0028 | Range recovery | Market stabilization | $0.001348 |
Bull | 0.0036-0.0055 | Resistance breakout | Volume plus BTC strength | $0.001348 |
Bear near $0.0009, base near $0.0025, bull near $0.0065. Driver: whether Oyster's coprocessor network gains real usage.
Bear near $0.0011, base near $0.0032, bull near $0.0085. Driver: broader DePIN capital rotation, tracked through AI-sector crypto news.
Bear near $0.0013, base near $0.0040, bull near $0.0110. Driver: re-listing on major exchanges.
Bear near $0.0015, base near $0.0050, bull near $0.0140. Driver: sustained Bitcoin bull cycle.
Target market cap = target price times circulating supply. At $0.01 and 8.27 billion POND circulating, that's roughly $82.7 million, over four times today's $18.94 million. Not impossible. But it needs sustained volume, not one green candle.
Marlin describes Oyster as a TEE-powered (trusted execution environment) computing framework built for coprocessor and serverless workloads. Real usage growth here matters more than price action alone. Updates on staking and rewards often surface through crypto airdrop trackers.
Capital keeps rotating toward AI and DePIN names. Whether $POND benefits are unclear. Here's the thing: smaller-cap tokens usually catch this rotation last, after the larger names move first.
Coinbase, Kraken, Gate, and KuCoin still list $POND spot pairs. Wider exchange access supports cleaner price discovery. Thin books elsewhere still create sharp wicks.
Binance officially stopped $POND spot trading on July 10, 2026, confirmed in Binance's delisting notice. Liquidity concentration is severe, with top holders controlling most supply. Weak Bitcoin, low volume follow-through, and a break of $0.001348 would all turn this bearish fast. And a market-wide risk-off swing would hit $POND harder than larger caps.

Marlin's documentation caps supply at 10 billion POND, with a separate staking token, MPond, tied to network participation. Circulating supply is 8.27 billion, roughly 90.77% unlocked.
Locked supply, about 922.85 million POND, sits mostly in staking rewards and ecosystem buckets. FDV of $22.88 million runs close to market cap, since most tokens have unlocked already. Full contract details are on Etherscan data.
Spot volume across ten tracked pairs runs from Coinbase's $4.1 million down to SushiSwap's $62,000. Open interest and funding data for $POND futures are tracked on CoinGlass, alongside long/short ratios and liquidation clusters. Turns out, most real liquidity still sits in spot markets, not derivatives, for this particular token.

Marlin focuses on verifiable computing and TEE infrastructure, not general cloud rental. Akash runs a broader decentralized cloud marketplace. Aethir leans into GPU infrastructure for AI and gaming. io.net targets distributed GPU clusters for AI and ML.
None of these are direct swaps for each other, and new project listings across this niche move through the exchange listing tracker fairly often. The real question isn't which token wins. It's whether POND's smaller size and thinner liquidity mean bigger swings either way.
Bull Case: Break above $0.003282 on rising volume, with Bitcoin holding steady, targets $0.005451. Invalidation below $0.001348.
Base Case: Range between $0.001800 and $0.002800 on moderate volume, with a neutral market. Invalidation below $0.001071.
Bear Case: Support failure, fading liquidity, and Bitcoin weakness point toward $0.000665. Invalidation would need a fresh higher low first.
Resistance at $0.003282, then $0.005451
Support at $0.001348, then $0.000665
