Will PENGU Rebound?

Currently, PENGU’s short-term trend reflects cautious optimism, yet resistance sits near $0.01432, slightly above its spot value. The support floor lies around $0.01328. A move above the resistance could push the token toward the $0.0155 region, while a breach below support risks retesting $0.012 levels. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) holds at 57.14, suggesting mild bullishness, while the RSI average trails at 65.08, indicating the recent momentum may have already peaked. If RSI crosses above its average again, it could reignite buying pressure. However, with both values staying under 70, PENGU avoids overbought conditions.

On the moving averages, the 9-period line (orange) now stands at $0.01433, marginally above the 21-period (green) line at $0.01328. A bullish crossover has taken place, hinting at a short-term upward trend. This technical structure often signals buying interest building up, especially when paired with increasing volume. However, the recent volume slump tempers this interpretation and warrants caution.

While the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is not directly shown on the chart, the price-volume behavior suggests neutral-to-slightly-negative accumulation. The downtrend in volume, despite a recent price lift, implies weaker conviction behind the upward moves.

If momentum sustains and the token holds above $0.0135, PENGU could aim to break its recent top. Conversely, slipping under $0.0132 might open the path to short-term declines. Given the moving average crossover and RSI behavior, the current phase signals consolidation with potential for reversal if market participation rises.
