Amid its recent performance, some analysts suggest that the token is preparing for a 140% run to new highs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pudgy Penguins Catch NFT And Memecoin Rally<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Monday, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) became one of the leading memecoins after surging nearly 20% in the past 24 hours. The Solana-based token saw its price climb from the $0.031 mark to a six-month high of $0.040 before retracing to the $0.036 area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pudgy Penguins is one of the largest\u00a0NFT collections, with a market capitalization of 143,897 ETH. It consists of 8,888 unique cartoons of cute penguins and sits behind CryptoPunks as the second-largest NFT collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In December, the Pudgy Penguins project launched its official token, PENGU, on the Solana Blockchain, gathering massive attention during the Q4 2024 rally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The memecoin flipped tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) and BONK, momentarily becoming the largest Solana memecoin by market cap and the fourth-largest memecoin by this metric, just behind Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the recent crypto market performance, PENGU has significantly recovered from its April all-time low (ATL) of $0.003, which represented a 95% decline from its December all-time high (ATH) of $0.068.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the past week, the token has reclaimed crucial levels after breaking out of its multi-month downtrend and rallied around 30%, surpassing the daily and weekly performances of SHIB and PEPE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pudgy Penguins NFT collection also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/coingecko\/status\/1947108881559335068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">soared<\/a> in the past 24 hours, with a 290% increase in trading volume, driven by the recent interest in the sector. The collection\u2019s 16% daily surge saw its floor price rise to 16.19 ETH, or $60,242, by Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notably, the NFT market cap reached its highest level since January after jumping 17% on Sunday from $5.1 billion to $6 billion, according to CoinGecko data. A recent report noted that NFT sales increased by 78% in Q2, while the number of traders increased 20% from Q1, suggesting renewed interest in the sector.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">PENGU Eyes 140% Surge<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crypto analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted that the Solana memecoin has been showing positive signs of strength since late June, when it broke out of a textbook multi-month Cup and Handle pattern.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since then, the token has smashed past the pattern\u2019s neckline, around the $0.018 mark, and reclaimed the $0.020 resistance as support, which propelled its 30% surge in the weekly timeframe to its $0.035-$0.040 levels.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-791756\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GwXl6Z9WMAA78df.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C430\" alt=\"memecoin\" width=\"860\" height=\"430\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ahead of the Monday surge, Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1946976674911813806\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">highlighted<\/a> that PENGU was \u201cready for another leg up\u201d as it had been accumulating within a symmetrical triangle formation over the past week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on this pattern, the cryptocurrency could see a 140% surge toward the $0.075 barrier if it continues to hold above the $0.031-$0.033 breakout area and confirms these levels as support in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, two market watchers have shared optimistic targets for the cryptocurrency this cycle. Byzantine General <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ByzGeneral\/status\/1947340987530948908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">affirmed<\/a> that PENGU could go to a market capitalization of $10 billion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf you consider that it&#8217;s the memecoin with the most mainstream adoption, with maybe the exception of DOGE, it&#8217;s not that crazy at all actually,\u201d he detailed. Similarly, Crypto Kaleo <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoKaleo\/status\/1947355543947120862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">considers<\/a> that \u201c$0.8888 is a decent target, but it\u2019s still FUD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To the analyst, \u201cPENGU to $4.20 would put it at a $373B mcap. This is a much better upside target.\u201d He explained his bold prediction, arguing that \u201cLast bull market, SHIB hit 50% of DOGE\u2019s peak. There\u2019s room to have other high-quality memes do something similar this cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of this writing, PENGU trades at $0.036, a 19% increase in the daily timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-791754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PENGUUSDT_2025-07-21_14-33-09.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C475\" alt=\"memecoin, PENGU, PENGUUSDT\" width=\"860\" height=\"475\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pudgy Penguins project has had a massive rally over the past week, stealing the spotlight in both the non-fungible token (NFT) and memecoin sectors.
