- Buyers are losing strength as upside momentum slows. The relative strength index (RSI) on the hourly chart registered lower highs despite the breakout above $61,000 on Tuesday.
- Overbought signals on the RSI typically result in brief pullbacks, such as the 5% drop in BTC back on March 10.
- The RSI is not yet oversold, although support near the 200-period moving average on the hourly chart could attract buyers.
- The recent all-time high around $64,800 is now resistance; buyers will need to push past this level to resume the long-term uptrend.
- Wednesday's re-test of the $61,000 breakout level is constructive and suggests selling pressure will remain limited over the short-term.

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.
