The post Why Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Price is Rising Today: Key Levels to Watch appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

While most major crypto assets held steady with muted volatility, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) has quietly outperformed, posting modest gains as traders reassess positioning around fresh ecosystem news. The relative strength stands out against a stable marketplace because it is not simply following broader moves, it reflects specific narrative flow rooted in a significant partnership development.

Visa-Powered Pengu Card Boosts Narrative

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) confirmed a high-profile strategic initiative with payments giant Visa and finance platform KAST to launch the Pengu Card, a co-branded crypto debit card accepted at over 150 million merchants worldwide. The card will allow users to spend stablecoins and other digital assets directly, with up to 12% rewards and 7% yield features, and has opened a global waitlist for early access. 

That announcement has injected fresh narrative strength into PENGU’s market perception. It marks a shift from purely NFT-centric buzz to tangible utility, expanding the brand from collectible culture into mainstream payment rails. Early price action around the news previously sparked spikes of up to double-digit percentages in intraday trading as investors digested the collaboration’s potential.

PENGU Price Recovery Meets Overhead Supply: What’s Next?

PENGU price latest rebound has carried back into the zone where the last sell-off originally accelerated, turning this area into the first meaningful decision point rather than a confirmation of strength. The rally itself has been orderly, tightening price action which typically reflects a relief move driven by positioning adjustments instead of fresh aggressive buying. As price approaches the $0.007200 breakdown region, the reaction becomes more important than the move.

The rebound itself formed higher lows from the recent bottom, showing demand stepped in near the base. If buyers manage to hold above this reclaimed range, the structure shifts from recovery to accumulation. A sustained hold above the $0.00700 mark would confirm acceptance back inside the prior range and open room toward $0.007400-$0.007800, where the next liquidity pocket sits. On the downside, losing $0.006800 would invalidate the recovery structure and likely pull price back toward the recent low near $0.006500.

Furthermore, the derivatives data adds another layer to the move. Open interest declined nearly 4% while price surges. This indicates short positions closing and removing selling pressure. For now, leverage is resetting rather than expanding. If buyers maintain control above the recent base, the token can slowly expand upward.

ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments

ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments

The post ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jimmy Kimmel (Photo by Media Access Awards Presented By Easterseals/Getty Images for Easterseals) Getty Images for Easterseals The shock decision by ABC to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely” after the late-night host’s remarks about the killing of Charlie Kirk has created a rare moment in modern TV media: A major show abruptly taken off the air, with its network forced into crisis-management mode. Rare, that is, but not unprecedented. What might go unnoticed by many people reacting to the news about Kimmel and his potential cancellation is that this is not the first time ABC has made such a move. In fact, a version of the same thing happened to Kimmel’s predecessor program — Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect, which once had Kimmel’s slot and which ABC cancelled in the wake of a firestorm around comments Maher made in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. (Notice, by the way, that I said cancelled “in the wake of” and not “because of.” More on that in a moment.) Here’s what happened: Less than a week after 9/11, Maher and a panel were talking about then-President George W. Bush’s use of the word “cowards” to describe the hijackers. “We have been the cowards,” Maher interjected, referencing the practice of “lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly.” But Maher then went even farther over the line: Actually staying in an airplane as it hits a building? “Not cowardly.” You can read more about the ensuing uproar in this ABC news story from 2001, which includes a statement that Maher issued through his publicist: “In no way was I intending to say, nor have I ever thought, that the men and women who defend our nation in uniform are anything but courageous and valiant, and I offer my apologies to…
