Volume Surge Follows Early July Momentum

Price action throughout early July showed increasing bullish strength supported by consistent volume growth. PENGU had previously consolidated between $0.012 and $0.016 before breaking out. The first major leg of the rally began once price crossed the $0.016 zone, flipping it into support.

From there, buyers maintained control across consecutive sessions with minimal downside pressure. The chart recorded multiple green candles, forming a steep vertical rally. New support formed around the $0.022 mark during the rally. As the breakout progressed, daily candles widened, reflecting stronger participation.

The July 13 candle featured a short upper wick, indicating mild intraday selling. However, the closing price near daily highs showed sustained buying interest. Volume also peaked on that day, reflecting a strong surge in retail activity.

Social Media Trigger Drives Market Attention

Market momentum gained additional traction after Coinbase changed its profile image to a Pudgy Penguin. This move triggered a broader social trend across Crypto Twitter, where users adopted similar penguin-themed visuals. The PENGU token, already on the rise, saw increased association with the meme and visibility across communities.

The overlap between social media activity and price performance coincided with the largest single-day candle of the month. That same session also broke multiple resistance levels without forming retracement patterns. At present, the chart shows no major bearish reversal signals. Recent resistance zones between $0.022 and $0.026 now serve as support. 

PENGU closed above all prior monthly highs, with upward structure remaining intact. Volume and price action remain aligned, and momentum has stayed strong since early July. Any short-term retracement may find buyers at the $0.022 level based on past reaction. The latest rally marks the highest close for PENGU in recent months.
