Pudgy Penguins is showing fading momentum in major key technical gauges. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) now stands at 43.57, which is below the neutral 50 mark, and this indicates fading buying strength.
The MACD has also established a bearish crossover, as the MACD line (-0.00063) is now below the signal line (0.00033), which suggests possible additional losses. In the meantime, the coin continues to trade below its 9-day EMA ($0.03302) and probes the lower Bollinger Band ($0.02857), signaling near-term bearish pressure.
Price action indicates consolidation near $0.0305. The token has been unable to retake higher ground after hitting a high above $0.04 in the month of July. The sellers have capped upside momentum numerous times on rallies to break above resistance of $0.034–$0.035.
A clean breakout, however, can create the possibility of $0.040 and even $0.047. But the downside support, on the other hand, lies at $0.028.
The derivatives market is showing mixed signals. Trading volume decreased by 33.81% to $932.66M, and open interest eased by 2.63% to $316.08M. The fall in both signals the unwinding of risk exposures by traders.
Even after the pullback, the OI-weighted funding rate stays positively tilted at 0.0064%, indicating the derivatives traders are still holding a relatively bullish view. But until the volume and momentum indicators witness a comeback, the market might find it challenging to maintain an upswing.
