Credit: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The move comes after an extended decline that began in mid-January, marked by lower highs and lower lows. The current price action suggests the possibility of a short-term trend reversal, though confirmation depends on whether buyers can sustain momentum above key resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum indicators are starting to improve. ICP has surpassed its 50-day moving average at $2.38, indicating a return to short-term strength. . <\/p>\n<p>As the price moved closer to the upper band, the Bollinger Bands grew wider, indicating greater short-term momentum. The relative strength index, which shows increasing buying pressure while still below overbought territory, has risen to about 60\u201363.<\/p>\n<p>If buyers manage to hold above the $2.70 resistance, the next levels traders are watching sit around $2.90\u2013$3.00, followed by $3.40\u2013$3.50.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the breakout fails, the market could pull back toward support near $2.38, then $2.20, with the $2.05 area being a key level that must hold to sop further decline.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICP price jumped over 10% after the token was listed on Upbit, adding roughly $100 million to its market cap within hours.
