On March 19, one of the leading memecoin, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), fell by 6.63% after dropping from $0.0074 to $0.0070.
According to CoinMarketCap, this price movement brought the value of the PENGU token down to approximately $0.007 while the market capitalization revolves around $440.45 million with active trading volume above $100 million.
The drop comes from the Federal Reserve’s March 18 decision to hold interest rates steady in the range of 3.5% to 3.75%, instead of delivering the cut many had hoped for. Officials said that ongoing inflation pressures and higher oil prices driven by global tensions, including events in Iran, are the main reasons for keeping rates unchanged and showing only limited cuts later in the year.
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Forms Bearish Pattern
Technical indicators on the PENGU price chart are showing a bearish pattern, which is consistent with the crypto market. The Relative Strength Index is in the low 30s to mid-40s, which means the token has lost buying strength and is close to oversold territory, yet shows no clear rebound pattern right now.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator is giving a sell signal because its lines remain flat or negative, which shows the weakening momentum and possible further bearish pattern ahead. The memecoin price is trading below its key moving averages, including the 5-day and 50-day lines, and these averages are now working as overhead resistance that sellers defend easily.

According to technical analysis, support levels are around $0.0065, where buyers might step in to slow the fall, while resistance is around $0.008; breaking above that could signal an early recovery. These tools that analysts review daily tell a simple story that sellers currently control the short-term direction, although any positive change in market mood.
Scott stated on X that “We saw a bearish reaction from resistance, which is normal after such a bullish move. We have a nice little support laying at $0.0072, this will be the key zone to hold. I want to see a strong bounce off of it in the coming days.”
Even with the current price, the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem keeps growing through real expansions that build real value beyond short-term trading. The latest update is the full launch of Pudgy World, a free browser-based game with 12 towns, quests, and mini games that gives experience like a classic title while connecting to NFTs and PENGU token rewards for everyday players.
This development has attracted earlier token gains and is now boosting community engagement with millions of downloads already seen in related mobile titles like Pudgy Party. Retail partnerships continue to expand with physical toy sales through Walmart and other major stores, generating over $10 million in revenue, and QR codes on toys that unlock exclusive digital items in the game.
Apart from this, it includes collaborations with sports leagues for events like the NHL Winter Classic and entertainment crossovers that bring the penguin characters to more audiences through viral media and real-world products.
These developments will boost the brand as a global intellectual property with over 100 billion.
