Key Highlights
Analyst Ali Martinez (@alicharts) says getting bearish on $PENGU is a big mistake after the token held mid-range support following a rejection from the channel top.
$PENGU is holding near $0.0082 while potentially forming a higher low; two support trendlines remain the key conditions for the bullish structure.
As long as those supports hold, Martinez sees a path back toward the channel top at $0.0110.
A breakout above $0.0110 would open his next watched level at $0.0210.
Bitcoin is trading near $82,700 while Solana ecosystem meme coin $PENGU sits at roughly $0.0082 after pulling back from a recent test of the $0.0110 channel top. Ali Martinez argues the pullback is not a reason to turn bearish.
On 10 October 2026, Martinez posted: “PENGU: GETTING BEARISH IS A BIG MISTAKE.”
He noted that after $PENGU was rejected from the top of the channel, the token is now holding the mid-range support while potentially forming a higher low. The chart he shared shows an ascending trendline connecting higher lows through October, with the current price zone acting as a consolidation area rather than a breakdown.

The two levels he is watching are the horizontal mid-range support near $0.0082 and the rising trendline. As long as both continue to hold, he says the bullish structure remains intact.
A higher low forms when buyers step in at a price above the previous swing low. In this case, the October structure shows progressive demand absorbing supply at improving levels. That pattern is consistent with a constructive pullback inside an ongoing channel rather than a trend reversal.
Martinez’s earlier posts on $PENGU have framed the token as a potential Solana ecosystem meme play that could rhyme with $PEPE’s expansion phase. The current setup keeps that thesis alive only while the support trendlines remain unbroken.
If $PENGU holds the mid-range support near $0.0082 and the ascending trendline, the structure points toward a retest of the channel top at $0.0110 (roughly +34% from current levels). A clean breakout above $0.0110 would put Martinez’s next watched level of $0.0210 in play.
A daily close below both the $0.0082 mid-range support and the rising trendline would invalidate the higher-low structure. That would open downside toward $0.0068 (about −16% from $0.0082), with a deeper floor near $0.0059 if selling accelerates.
The analyst’s core point is straightforward: the rejection from $0.0110 is not automatically bearish if price stabilizes at the mid-range and continues to print higher lows. The structure stays valid only while those two supports hold.
The call arrives while Bitcoin remains near $82,700 and several on-chain analysts have described the broader market as still inside an early bull phase rather than a confirmed bear market. That macro backdrop can support risk-on positioning in higher-beta tokens such as $PENGU, provided the token’s own technical supports remain intact.
Martinez has previously highlighted $PENGU’s channel structure and compared its consolidation phase to earlier meme-coin expansions. The 10 October post is a direct update to that view: the dip is not a reason to abandon the bullish structure yet.
Bullish Scenario
Hold the $0.0082 mid-range and the ascending trendline → retest $0.0110 → potential extension toward $0.0210 on a breakout.
Bearish Scenario
Daily close below both supports → path toward $0.0068 and potentially $0.0059, invalidating the higher-low thesis.
The level to watch is not a single price print. It is whether the two support trendlines continue to hold. As long as they do, Martinez’s message is that turning bearish here is premature.
