While crypto’s short-term outlook remains challenged, some technical analysts see signs of an incoming reversal.
According to Bitcoin Vector, the research service from Swissblock and well-known analyst Willy Woo, a significant bullish divergence is forming between bitcoin’s price and its RSI momentum indicator. Similar setups have historically yielded returns of around 10%, the team noted.
“We are likely at the genesis of a major bullish reversal,” said Bitcoin Vector. “A return to $95,000 is looking likely.”

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
