Token issuance cuts and AI focus drive network activity surge

The Mission70 proposal to reduce new ICP token issuance by 70% by 2026 has driven significant ecosystem and community activity. On-chain data points to a weekly burn rate of 18,728 ICP tokens, representing one of the highest levels of token removal this year. Growing attention to ICP's artificial intelligence and infrastructure ambitions has also contributed to heightened engagement across the network.

Overbought signals as buyers sustain control near key resistance

The nearest dynamic support is the Ichimoku Kijun at $3.69, while immediate resistance aligns with the MA-200 at $4.46. Momentum remains strong, with the MACD on a daily buy signal and the ADX indicating a weak trend. Both RSI (76.18) and Stochastic RSI (100.00) show clear overbought conditions, and the Commodity Channel Index also flags overbought territory. Bull/Bear Power is firmly positive, confirming buyer dominance intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator supports the ongoing uptrend.

Limited upside as consolidation and downside risk intensify

For the next 5 trading days, the expected range for ICP is $4.20 to $4.80, corresponding to a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of further price increases is very low (less than 20%), making downside movement more likely. The baseline scenario is for price to consolidate sideways in a range near recent highs. A bullish case would see a push above the $4.46 – $4.50 resistance, targeting $4.80 or above, while a bearish reversal could occur if $4.20 fails, with possible corrections toward $4.00 in response to overbought signals.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical momentum in Internet Computer (ICP) but highlights clear overbought signals and nearby resistance at $4.46. He notes that while the Mission70 proposal has driven engagement, most indicators signal exhaustion and a likely sideways or corrective phase. The analyst remains cautious as any failure to hold $4.20 could trigger a deeper pullback. "Base case remains consolidation — until $4.46 breaks decisively, the risk of downside dominates in my view."

Previously it was reported that Internet Computer (ICP) is trading decisively above key moving averages and the Ichimoku Kijun, with recent price action sustained by increased inflows following a major token issuance reduction proposal and heightened on-chain burn rates. While bullish momentum persists amid strong buying and a gap-up open, multiple overbought technical signals and weak underlying trend strength suggest caution is warranted as prices approach psychological resistance levels.
