Based on the rally from $0.0226 to $0.0469 in late December and early January, Fibonacci retracement levels were plotted. In mid-January, the price respected these key levels.

This suggested that a recovery from $0.0278 was possible, but consistent selling pressure in the past two weeks quashed bullish hopes.

On the 26th of January, the 78.6% retracement level was retested as resistance, and PENGU has been in freefall since. The A/D indicator continued its steady decline, and the CMF’s fall below -0.05 indicated significant capital outflow from the market.
