The 1-day chart showed strong bullish impetus.
In late June, when PENGU token prices soared above $0.0125 local highs, it left behind a sizable fair value gap (white box). It was expected that this gap would be retested as a demand zone before the rally continued.
Instead, aggressive bullish demand, combined with Bitcoin’s euphoric breakout, prevented the revisit.
The CMF backed this with strong capital inflows, maintaining consistent readings above +0.05 throughout July. On top of that, the MFI rose in tandem with the price.
Yet, cracks may be forming—a bearish divergence hinted at a possible cooldown.
Were there any other threats to the PENGU crypto rally?

The technical analysis showed that the uptrend was intact, although there was potential for a price dip toward $0.0175. The spot taker CVD data of the past three months showed that selling pressure from profit-taking activity was increasing in July.
Likely due to the swift price rally, holders might be tempted to book profits.
The rally tempted many to lock in profits, shifting the market into a Taker Sell Dominant phase above $0.02.
Northbound pull, but watch your step

The recent liquidation data showed that PENGU crypto might be pulled higher in the coming days. The $0.0225-$0.023 area was a magnetic zone of interest above the market price.
To the south, the liquidity clusters were not as strong until the $0.018 area.
Hence, these were the two supply and demand zones for the PENGU token, shortly. A retracement toward $0.0175 could provide a buying opportunity.
Yet, as we saw with the fair value gap, buyers might not see sizeable price dips due to the bullishness across the market, and behind PENGU.
