Institutional interest grows as ETF review offsets NFT sales drop

A Spot PENGU ETF proposal, aiming to combine Pudgy Penguins token exposure with its NFT assets, is currently under regulatory review and could enable greater institutional participation if approved. Recent reports indicate $863,000 in PENGU net exchange outflows on October 21, reflecting continued accumulation and growing token scarcity. Meanwhile, Pengu’s NFT sales dropped 76% around October 25, highlighting short-term volatility in the NFT ecosystem.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that Pengu’s persistent price weakness below all major moving averages and the pronounced downside momentum reflect a strong bearish technical structure and limited recovery prospects in the short term. He emphasizes that the combination of a 15.14% intraday decline and declining NFT sales highlights negative sentiment and unresolved structural risks, despite recent accumulation signals. Kharitonov is skeptical about near-term upside, citing the unresolved regulatory environment around the ETF proposal as an additional overhang. "Until Pengu establishes support above the $0.01991 resistance or macro sentiment turns, risk of further declines dominates and traders should remain defensive," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the ongoing Spot PENGU ETF proposal as a pivotal development which, if approved, may catalyze new institutional inflows and set the stage for broader ecosystem growth. He highlights that recent net exchange outflows suggest robust long-term interest and increasing scarcity, even amidst volatile NFT sales and short-term price softness. Karapetjanc is optimistic about the foundation being laid for future gains, especially if bullish momentum can reclaim resistance levels. "The bullish structure remains intact on strong accumulation signals from exchange outflows — I expect further growth once regulatory clarity and price stabilization materialize," he asserts.

Divergent momentum signals as intraday volatility fuels selling

Momentum readings are mixed, with the D1 MACD indicating strong downside momentum while the D1 ADX shows a strong trend but leans technically bullish, creating a clear divergence. Daily RSI at 36.6, D1 CCI at –85.90, and D1 Stoch RSI at neutral reflect an oversold-to-neutral state, while BBP suggests sellers dominate intraday moves. The awesome oscillator confirms the prevailing bearish tone. PENGU fell 15.14% so far today, with no significant opening gap, and the current price is pinned near today’s low, indicating high volatility and sustained pressure after the open. Momentum signals and intraday trading performance both confirm prevailing selling forces.

Last time we reported that bearish signals outweigh limited recovery odds for Pudgy Penguins as selling pressure persisted. Previously it was noted that strong brand demand was still supporting NFT sales despite overall market weakness.
