Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) – 24-Hour Technical Exhaustive Analysis

1. Trend Analysis

Macro View (Last 3 Months)

• The chart shows a significant price expansion from early May, peaking around mid-May (0.48), followed by a broad, high-volatility downtrend into late June (low around 0.19), and then a series of sharp recoveries and pullbacks.
• Recent Price Action:
  • After bottoming in late June, PNUT started recovering in early July, climbing to a secondary peak (0.3294 on July 22), then consolidating before another sell-off to 0.2674 on July 24.
  • The most recent sessions showed a rebound to 0.2786 on July 25-26, then some sideways movement before a drop in the last 4 hours.

2. Volume Analysis

• Periods of high-volume expansion (notably May and late June/early July) correspond to trend reversals or strong moves, indicating that PNUT is sensitive to momentum trading.
• Today: The last 24 hours saw falling volume, particularly in the most recent hours. The 21:00 UTC close had minimal volume, suggesting either low activity or the exhaustion of active sellers.

3. Candlestick/Price Pattern Analysis

• Last 24h:
  • Sharp sell-off in the final three hours, dropping from 0.273 to 0.261.
  • Multiple hourly closes near lows, suggesting strong bearish pressure.
  • Prior to the sell-off, the price consolidated but failed to make new highs over 0.29, forming a micro double-top.
• Broader pattern:
  • Price is making lower highs since the July 22 local top, and lower lows this session.
  • Range contraction points to a possible volatility breakout ahead.

4. Support and Resistance Mapping

• Immediate Support:
  • 0.258–0.261 (current zone, acted as support after July 24, and twice today)
  • Below: 0.250–0.253 (support from late May and post-sell-off bounce)
• Immediate Resistance:
  • 0.273–0.278 (multi-hour resistance before breakdown today)
  • 0.285–0.292 (congestion zone since July 23)
• Implication: Breaking below 0.26 could trigger a rapid test of 0.251–0.255; holding above would mean a possible short-term bounce.

5. Moving Averages

• 20-hour EMA (approx.): Trailing around 0.274.
• 50-hour SMA (approx.): Circa 0.282.
• Current Price: Clearly below both moving averages. When current price stays under short and medium-length moving averages, it reflects strong bearish momentum with no immediate reversal pattern.

6. Momentum Oscillators

• Stochastic RSI (conceptual, as datapoints are hourly): Must be deeply oversold after the recent plunge (succession of closes at or near session lows), usually a sign of short-term bounce potential, though not confirmed without price confirmation.
• MACD: Signal line likely below zero with increasing gap after this drop. Momentum in the last 12 hours is negative and not showing convergence, so the downtrend is active.

7. Volatility / ATR

• ATR (Average True Range): Elevated during the prior moves, compression in the last few hours signals a high-probability of breakout continuation.
  • Sudden downward move on declining volume: This often means sellers are getting exhausted, but lack of buyers isn’t signaling a reversal.

8. Order Book/Depth (Inferred)

• Recent inability to sustain above 0.29 and quick collapses on light volume suggest order book is more stacked with passive sellers at upper levels. Thin liquidity below recent lows (0.261) may allow price to move quickly to the next support.

9. Fibonacci Retracement

• Measured from July’s high (0.3375) to July 24 minimum (0.2674):
  • 38.2%: ≈ 0.295
  • 50%: ≈ 0.302
  • 61.8%: ≈ 0.309
• Current price is below all key retracement levels—another bearish confluence.

10. Elliott Wave Perspective

• The sharp rally into July 22 could have been a corrective wave (C up), and this current retracement suggests the start of a new impulsive (down) motive wave.

11. Sentiment/Exhaustion Scan

• The previous sharp rallies failed to create higher highs. Each downside move is seeing less buying conviction. Current session shows both minimal volume and no aggressive buying, often found at the tail of a short-term bear cap.

12. Conclusion/Synthesis

• The technicals point to active bearish momentum, possible short-term seller exhaustion, but no reversal signal yet.
• Key level to watch: 0.258 (if that fails, next strong support is 0.251) — hence, risk is for further downside.
• High probability scenario:
  • Price will test and likely break below current support (0.261) in the next few hours
  • Momentum and moving averages point lower; no bullish divergence yet
  • Tactical shorts have edge, but should watch for minor bounce (oversold rallies can be quick, so use stops/trailing risk management)
  • Downside target is around 0.251–0.253 (support range)

Final Call: Short/Sell Bias

Open short as close to 0.262 as possible (on minor bounce or current price)

Target/Take Profit: 0.252

Risk note: A failed breakdown and quick reversal back above 0.266–0.270 would invalidate the short-term short, so consider tight stops above this region.
