Resistance levels for Pendle were noted at $5.50 and $7.00, with the latter being a critical zone for a potential breakout.
Breaking above $7.00 could pave the way for a substantial price increase, representing a 93% upside from the current level.
Market sentiment shows mixed signals
Pendle’s daily chart reflected a bearish short-term trend, with the price trading below the 13-day EMA ($3.84) and the 49-day EMA ($4.56).
This bearish outlook is reinforced by the EMAs crossing downward, signaling continued selling pressure.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was at 37.13, approaching oversold levels, which showed the potential for either a consolidation phase or a reversal.
Funding Rates remained positive at 0.0068, indicating that long positions were paying shorts. However, the predicted Funding Rate at 0.0049 suggested reduced optimism among traders.
If the price failed to hold at current support, a drop toward the $3.00 psychological level is possible.
