Recent Important News about PENGU:
1️⃣ Long-term Decline and Market Sentiment Deterioration
Over the past five months, PENGU’s price has fallen approximately 73.5%, from $0.032 in August to around $0.0086 now, failing to form a significant rebound. This performance reflects a continued cooling of interest in the NFT and meme coin sectors, with market demand shrinking noticeably. Monthly sales of Pudgy Penguins NFTs have decreased by 31.4% month-over-month, and the declining ecosystem enthusiasm has directly pressured the native token’s price.
2️⃣ Whale Accumulation and On-Chain Fund Movements
Whale accounts have recently withdrawn 272.2 million PENGU (worth $2.52 million) from exchanges. Over the past two weeks, they accumulated a total of 273.08 million PENGU (worth $2.55 million), indicating some large holders are transferring tokens into cold wallets for long-term holding. While this outflow can be seen as a potential accumulation signal, the current scale of outflows is significantly lower than the peak levels mid-year, and buying pressure remains weak.
3️⃣ Technical Formation of a Bearish Breakdown Structure
In mid-December, PENGU broke below the key support level of $0.0099, forming a clear bearish breakdown pattern. The previously important support at $0.009 has now turned into resistance. The OBV indicator continues to decline, suggesting a low probability of a strong rebound in the short term. If the current price cannot hold above the $0.00855 support, attention should be paid to the two historical lows at $0.0054 and $0.0039.
