PENGU surged 14.19% after partnerships and Korea Blockchain Week exposure brought significant attention to its ecosystem. The price rally accompanied promotional activity with WEEX and the first unveiling of a "Pengu Minibot" during the conference.
The price advance was supported by increased spot trading volume, which surged 38.47% to $467 million over 24 hours, reflecting genuine market participation rather than thin liquidity-driven momentum.

Short positions absorbed significant pressure during the rally. Short liquidations accounted for $1.54 million of the $1.93 million in total liquidations within 24 hours, compared to long liquidations of $396,280.
Technical Outlook
PENGU traded around $0.010688 at the time of reporting. The token faced resistance at the $0.012 level, which had repeatedly contained previous recovery attempts. Technical indicators showed supporting conditions, with the RSI at 57.85 above its average but not yet in overbought territory. The DMI indicator favored buyers, with +DI at 27.97 versus -DI at 18.96.
A weekly close above $0.012 could expose the $0.0225 level as the next major resistance zone.
