The world’s largest cryptocurrency is entering July on a negative note and is down about 4% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin was trading at around $33,000 at press time.

  • The relative strength index (RSI) is not yet oversold on the four-hour chart, which means sellers could remain active toward lower support levels.
  • Bitcoin failed to reverse a short-term downtrend over the past two weeks as resistance remains strong at between $36,000 and $40,000.
  • The 50-period moving average on the four-hour chart is stabilizing, although the price is attempting to break down, keeping up with a series of lower highs over the past quarter.
  • Bitcoin has remained in a consolidation phase since June, although improving momentum could support a relief bounce if buyers defend $30,000 support.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
