PENGU RSI and MACD Show Mixed Signals

Charts show that PENGU recently spiked near the $0.060 threshold but couldn’t hold on. The token declined afterwards and is now recovering just above a short-term support line at $0.032.

The asset is currently under pressure after a significant spike but hasn’t broken down entirely. The technical indicators were neutral.

The RSI dropped to 43.44, indicating fading optimism, though it hasn’t yet signaled that the token is undervalued. A second indicator, MACD, turned modestly negative, signaling short-term selling pressure.

If the token stays above $0.032, it could attempt another rally. However, if it falls below $0.028, it could decline further towards $0.025. In order for it to have a healthy recovery, the token would need to return above the $0.037 to $0.040 area.

This shows that many market participants may be stepping aside for now.
