Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n

PENGU rallied alongside the broader crypto market, supported by adoption across crypto, mainstream, and institutions. Will PENGU\u2019s explosive rally hold, and can resistance at $0.036 finally break?<\/em><\/p>\n

Memecoins outperformed the crypto markets, with Pudgy Penguins [PENGU]<\/a> gaining more than 15% in a day. It led all other memecoins in returns on the day.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, trading volume jumped 220% within hours, crossing $1 billion.<\/p>\n

The surge followed Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s speech at Jackson Hole, where he hinted at potential rate cuts in September.<\/p>\n

PENGU faces corrective wave resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Technical analysis pointed out that price action remained in a correction phase despite the bullish momentum. Analyst Ali Martinez stressed<\/a> this outlook but noted that PENGU had all it takes to hit $0.10.<\/p>\n

On the charts, PENGU was still trading within a corrective channel, with the upper resistance as the determinant of the next leg up. A break could set the memecoin for the $0.046 target before the ultimate one at $0.10.<\/p>\n

At press time, PENGU traded near $0.035 after forming a double bottom at support.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the bull flag hinted at a potential bullish continuation, with the DMI now turning to the upside. Still, the price had to break above the pattern for confirmation.<\/p>\n

On Velo, the Aggregated Open Interest (OI) broke above a descending trendline.<\/p>\n

Per Byzantine General on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter), OI reached $5.29 billion. At the same time, aggregated volume reached $21.71 billion.<\/p>\n

More longs form below current price levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A look into the liquidation levels showed that more than $30 million in longs were awaiting to be triggered just below current price levels.<\/p>\n

Short orders clustered above $0.036, but were less concentrated. This suggested that traders were less confident in a downside scenario.<\/p>\n

On top of that, the buildup below reflected expectations of liquidity sweeps before the next move.<\/p>\n

Liquidity drives crypto prices. Having said that, PENGU could head either direction to capture liquidity. A move higher might trigger a short squeeze. In contrast, dips could fill those long orders and extend the rally.<\/p>\n

What’s driving PENGU’s surge?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Worth noting were the driving forces behind this memecoin’s price surge. Among them were crypto, institutional and mainstream adoption. These factors backed their marketing push.<\/p>\n

Specifically, PENGU was listed on major exchanges, including CBOE, spot ETF filings<\/a>, SEC acknowledgement and partnerships with institutions like VanEck and Bitwise.<\/p>\n

The community was enjoying more than 5 million social media followers, with over 2 million on stores. Pudgy Penguins’ sales were being rolled out in Asia, with Upbit listing helping in more recognition.<\/p>\n

All together, PENGU’s fundamentals pointed toward a strong memecoin backed by its growing adoption. Still, caution was needed as the structure had not broken from the bull flag to confirm the next leg up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
