The struggle to sustain the price had led to a plummet in a falling wedge. Similarly, the global red market sentiment accelerated the fall. It dipped early to the demand zone from the lower boundary of the wedge.

However, PENDLEs price has seen a longer-term decline of 120 days, deteriorating more than 75%.

The recent price surge has three factors: the first is global optimism, and the second is Pendle at a demand zone. The third factor is the coinciding news of the listing announcement from Upbit. These give an upper hand for its price to surge.

The resumption of a bullish trend would get a confirmation after sustenance, as shown above, the Change of Character level of $3.36. This would wave the green flag.

Therefore, if the price surges, the resistance will be at $3.36 and $3.90. It would be followed by support at $2.40 and $2.00, respectively.
