Pendle (PENDLE) Price Eyes 41% Recovery if Support Holds, Team Wallet Activity Sparks Fear of Sell-Off

Since last week, the crypto market entered a renewed correction trend led by the Bitcoin price dive below $95k. As the selling pressure mounts, the Pendle price caught investors’ attention amid its position at crucial support and a substantial transfer of tokens to exchange by the team-owned wallet.

Crypto market sell-off intensifies as Bitcoin price drops below $95k, sparking a renewed correction. Pendle price attracts attention with its team's substantial token transfer to an exchange. Will Pendle buyers fail to keep the $4 floor?

Pendle, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol for trading tokenized future yield, saw its team transferring 625,000 PENDLE tokens on December 15, as highlighted by a recent EmberCN tweet. These tokens, valued at approximately $3.15 million, were unlocked between April 2022 and April 2023, following Pendle's official unlocking rules. Notably, this address, which is identified as belonging to the team, showcases activity related to the token release schedule.

Generally, a large amount of transfer to a crypto exchange could surge market speculation on potential sell-offs and boost bearish sentiment among traders. If this theory plays out, Pendle could slip below the $4.8 support, inviting a prolonged correction.

According to Coinmarketcap, Pendle price is currently trading at $4.9, showing an intraday gain of 0.8%. The asset's market cap is around $815.1 Million, while the 24-hour trading volume is at $62.5 Million.

Pendle price eyes 41% recovery if support holds

After Bitcoin's correction, the Pendle price underwent a sharp decline, falling from $7.14 to $5.07, registering a 29% loss. The falling price is currently finding support at an ascending trendline that has been intact since August 2024.

This dynamic trendline is a crucial pullback support for buyers to regain the exhausted bullish momentum. The daily chart analysis further indicates a $4.8 to $4.56 support range, accompanied by a 50% FIB level and 200-day EMA.

If the support holds, Pendle price could rise by 41% to challenge the all-time high resistance at $7.1.

However, a breakdown below the trendline mentioned above will accelerate the selling pressure and extend a correction below $4.
