However, the broader support zone sits lower, between $8.20 and $8.60, where multiple candle bodies previously topped out and which also coincides with the 0.382 Fib. This area is likely to be the stronger support for the next pullback.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/chart\/skYOuuO6\/?symbol=OKX%3AIPUSDT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If the $8.20\u2013$8.60 zone fails to hold, the next levels of interest lie around $7.50 (SMA 20), followed by the deeper support near $6.50, which also lines up with the 0.618 Fib.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, a retest of the $11.75 ATH remains the immediate target. A clean breakout above that level with strong volume could open the way toward the $13.50\u2013$14.00 range, derived from the measured move of the prior rally leg, with $15.00 standing out as a psychological barrier further ahead.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s driving IP price?<\/h2>\n<p>The recent surge in IP price stems from Heritage Distilling\u2019s August 11 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StoryProtocol\/status\/1954885593286238460\">announcement<\/a> of a $220 million PIPE financing and the establishment of a public IP token treasury \u2014 the first initiative of its kind by a Nasdaq-listed company.
