An analyst believes Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) could be close to a big breakout based on this technical analysis (TA) pattern in its 4-hour chart.
PENGU Has Potentially Been Following A Bull Flag Recently
In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared what could be next for Pudgy Penguins according to a chart pattern. The formation in question is a Bull Flag, which is a type of Flag. Flags form whenever the price of an asset experiences a period of consolidation inside a parallel channel following an initial sharp move. This starting move is known as the ‘pole,’ and the channel makes up for the ‘flag.’
A Bull Flag occurs when the pole is in the up direction and the flag corresponds to parallel consolidation to a net downside. When the price is trading inside the flag channel, it’s likely to face resistance at the upper line and support at the lower one. A move out of either of these levels can signal a breakout in that direction.
Bull Flags are assumed to be bullish continuation patterns, so a breakout may be more likely to occur above the resistance line of the parallel channel. Such a breakout is also considered to be of the same length as the pole of the pattern.
Like the Bull Flag, there is also a formation called the Bear Flag. It works much in the same way, except for the fact that the pole and flag are both flipped in orientation. That is, the pole corresponds to a sharp downward move, while the flag represents a phase of consolidation to the upside.
Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Bull Flag that the 4-hour price of PENGU has been trading inside for the past month:
As displayed in the above graph, PENGU has slowly been descending within the channel of the Bull Flag. The memecoin recently made a retest of the upper level, but it ended up rejected. The asset has since faced a plunge, so it’s uncertain when the next attempt could occur. The longer the coin remains locked inside the channel, however, the likelier an escape could become, whether to the upside or downside.
In the view of the analyst, Pudgy Penguins is “inches away from a new leg up.” Going by the scale of the pole, a potential bullish breakout could send PENGU to near the $0.10 mark. It only remains to be seen how the cryptocurrency’s price will develop in the coming days and whether a surge above the Bull Flag will occur.
