PENGU surges 14%, defies market slump – Why it’s more than just FOMO

Key Points

1. PENGU surged 14% in 24 hours, defying the broader market downturn, with its funding rate rising above the weekly average, indicating growing confidence in its upside potential.

2. 45.58% of PENGU's global trading volume is from long positions, suggesting the rally is not just driven by FOMO but by committed buyers.

3. Whale activity remains muted, with increased buying from mid-sized investors but no significant accumulation from large whales yet.

4. Technical indicators like the Stochastic RSI (99.45 on the daily chart) show PENGU is in overbought territory, signaling potential early signs of market exhaustion.

5. The $0.015–$0.016 zone is a critical support level; holding above it could strengthen PENGU's base for further gains, while profit-taking might lead to a pullback.
