cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has cooled following a strong recent rally. The token is currently trading near $0.009333, marking a 1.18% decline over the past 24 hours. This modest drop follows a period of upward momentum that encouraged traders to secure their gains.
Short-term holders appear to be reducing positions after the rally gained strength. Such selling activity creates temporary pressure without altering the broader market structure. The current pullback does not indicate a major breakdown in the token's performance.
PENGU retains strong community recognition across both crypto and mainstream retail markets. This visibility keeps the token prominent among meme coin traders today. The decline remains modest despite the profit-taking activity.
Traders are watching the move closely to see if the trend continues. The report suggests the weakness is likely driven by recent gains rather than fundamental issues. PENGU continues to show resilience despite the short-term price adjustment.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PENGU, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows PENGU trading at $0.008592, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 60.6% indicating immediate buying pressure. This contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 50.7%, suggesting that short-term buying is stronger than the recent four-hour trend. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 48.7%, showing that buying is slightly weaker over the full day. Volume delta is positive at +$31,549 for the hour and +$15,347 for four hours, reflecting net inflows in the short term. However, the 24-hour volume delta is -$206,059, indicating net outflows over the longer period. This means that while recent hours saw more buying than selling, the daily total shows more selling than buying. CVD closed at +$458,752, showing that cumulative buying pressure has been positive throughout the day. Spot volume reached $8,657,592 with 120,495 trades in 24 hours. Net buying occurred for 16 of the 24 hours, showing that buying pressure was present for most of the day despite the negative delta.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.4% sits at the 59th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.0% - ordinary for this coin.

Volume delta for the week totaled +$1,788,719, showing net buying over the longer period.
