Will PNUT Break Past the Key Resistance at $0.2400?

Technical indicators on the hourly chart suggest that PNUT is trading on a bullish trajectory. However, the bullish momentum is cooling down as the selling pressure starts to dominate PNUT’s market.

Red candlesticks initiated the downward trend on the chart when price action reached $0.2011 to signal diminishing bullish power. The $0.1600 support point remains robust, which would stop any potential downtrend within the bullish pattern. 

Technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) display a bullish outlook. The RSI has changed its direction and trends upwards at 50 indexes, indicating further room for growth before reaching the overbought region potentially pushing the price higher.

Additionally, the MACD indicator is shifting from its negative to positive state as the red bars start fading away from the histogram. Consequently, this suggests an increase in buying pressure. 

Should the current momentum hold, a break above $0.2011 could pave the way for a new journey toward the key resistance at $0.2406. The buyers should continue holding the upper hand so that the bulls can push PNUT’s price above these key levels.
