Whale Transactions Hint at Cautious Optimism for Pendle Price Recovery

Despite broader market consolidation, Pendle coin has shown a robust recovery since mid-March, surging 225% from $2.30 to a high of $7.53. However, the geopolitical issue in the Middle East triggered a temporary pullback to $4.9, before the asset regained its above at $6.88.

As per the Fibonacci retracement tool, the Pendle rebounded from the 50% pullback, indicating constructive correction which allowed buyers to recuperate its strength. With an intraday gain of 1%, the coin buyers are likely to challenge the swing high resistance of $7.53.

A successful breakout from this barrier will favor buyers with suitable flipped support to chase a higher price target of $10, followed by $12.

However, SpotOnChain recently reported a noteworthy transaction involving a wallet identified as 0x01f, which deposited 400K PENDLE tokens into Binance. This transaction came after a year of dormancy and is significant in value at approximately $2.68 million. The same wallet had previously vested 1.8 million PENDLE from Pendle Finance in 2022, valued at $264K at the time, and still holds 1.4 million PENDLE, now worth $9.42 million.

Notably, the wallet vested 1.8M $PENDLE from @pendle_fi in 2022 and 2023, at ~$0.147 ($264K),

A possible interpretation of this transaction is that the whale does not expect an aggressive rally for Pendle price in the near term, and therefore booking partial profit.

Thus, a potential reversal from $7.5 may send the next downswing below $5 support.
