Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees OP’s rebound above the MA-20 as only a minor technical respite. He believes that both medium- and long-term bearish trends remain intact due to the asset’s failure to reclaim the MA-50 or MA-200. The dynamic resistance near $0.2996 — $0.3128 continues to deter buyers. Short-term momentum indicators show mixed signals, but persistent intraday selling pressures are visible. "The probability of a meaningful recovery is limited, and sellers continue to dominate the broader trend for OP," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, points out that OP’s price action shows preliminary signs of stabilization. He believes the technical setup offers opportunity for buyers if OP can move above $0.2996 — $0.3128 resistance. Despite short-term challenges, Karapetjanc notes that bullish momentum could quickly return on a breakout. "Bullish structure remains within reach and further growth is possible if key resistance levels are surpassed," he says.

Mixed momentum and resistance cap recovery attempts

OP’s short-term stabilization is reinforced by its position above the MA-20, but continued resistance from the MA-50 and MA-200 indicates sellers still control the medium- and long-term trend. Notably, dynamic resistance aligns with both the MA-50 ($0.3128) and the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.2996. Momentum indicators present a mixed picture: the MACD and ADX day signals remain bearish, while oscillators such as the RSI (41) and CCI (–63) are above oversold levels. The Stoch RSI is elevated at 76, reflecting the risk of near-term exhaustion, and the BBP indicates intraday selling still persists.

Previously it was reported that Optimism displayed short-term strength above the MA-20 despite facing medium- and long-term bearish pressures from the MA-50 and MA-200, with daily indicators like MACD and ADX underscoring continued bearish momentum and weak oscillator readings. Resistance near the Ichimoku Kijun level and converging technical boundaries contributed to constrained breakout odds, while persistent buying after the open highlighted ongoing volatility within a neutral to bearish trading band.
