Jakarta, Pintu News – Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) token has recorded a significant increase of 8.6% in a day, as the altcoin market strengthens. Since the beginning of the year, the market capitalization of altcoins, excluding Ethereum (ETH), has increased by 7.5%. This rise has been particularly noticeable in the memecoin sector, where PENGU has been one of the impressive performing tokens with a 47% rise since the beginning of the year.

A report from AMBCrypto in late December indicated continued selling pressure on PENGU and a long-term downward trend. Although a quick rebound was not expected, the gains that did occur showed potential for further gains. The 3-day chart shows a bearish trend since August that erased the gains in June and early August.
However, the still bearish volume and momentum indicators are starting to show recovery. On the same chart, a violation of the low high at $0.0128 would signal a bullish structural change on this time frame. This provides an opportunity for short-term traders to buy.

The bullish memecoin party will continue as long as Bitcoin (BTC) buyers keep the momentum of the rally. However, a correction in Bitcoin (BTC) could lead to deeper volatility across the market. Also, traders and investors looking to buy at the bottom should keep in mind that Bitcoin (BTC) has shown weakness in recent months that will not recover soon.
Traders should be wary of a potential retracement to the $0.0110-$0.0115 range due to bearish momentum divergence. A drop below $0.0105 could indicate a weakening of the rally, while a breakout past $0.0128 would reinforce the bullish strength.

PENGU is showing strength with the exit from last month’s range formation. Momentum and buying pressure on the 4-hour time frame are evident. Traders are advised to monitor these critical levels and adjust their strategies according to changing market conditions. The next long-term targets are $0.016 and $0.022, which offer significant profit potential if the bullish trend continues.
The strengthening of Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) in 2026 offers exciting opportunities for traders and investors. While there are risks involved, a good understanding of market structure and momentum can help in making informed investment decisions. As always, doing your own research before making an investment decision is highly recommended.
