Privacy Boost launch spurs network use amid persistent selling pressure

Optimism announced the launch of Privacy Boost on OP Mainnet, deploying a new SDK by Sunnyside Labs to deliver configurable privacy features through a combination of zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments. The update enables confidential asset transfers, private smart contract logic, and compliance-focused audit tools without requiring migration or redeployment. Privacy Boost is currently active for Sunnyside Labs' clients and is accompanied by ongoing network activity, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Resistance holds as weak momentum aligns with intraday volatility

Technically, OP trades slightly above the SMA-20 and SMA-50 at $0.1177, but remains well below the SMA-200 at $0.2707. The Ichimoku Kijun on the daily chart is at $0.1180, acting as immediate resistance. Daily MACD is positive but weak, while ADX readings on both daily and weekly timeframes indicate a prevailing downtrend. RSI, CCI, and BBP on the daily chart suggest only mild buying interest, and sellers continue to dominate in the current session as OP trades near its intraday lows with high volatility.

Renewed downside risk as technical signals outweigh rebound odds

For the coming week, OP is expected to consolidate within a typical volatility band of $0.1050 – $0.1250. The probability of a sustained price increase remains below 20%, with a higher chance of renewed declines driven by negative signals from the weekly moving averages and momentum indicators. A move above the $0.1200 – $0.1220 resistance zone would be required to initiate a bullish scenario, while a drop below $0.1150 could open the way toward the $0.1050 region.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees Optimism maintaining fragile support above key moving averages but still deep in a downtrend. Despite recent technology upgrades like Privacy Boost, market sentiment remains weak and technicals suggest limited upside. He believes resistance around $0.1200 – $0.1220 is critical for any bullish shift. "Until Optimism reclaims the $0.1200 level, I view rallies as likely to fade and remain defensively positioned."

Earlier, analysts noted that Optimism remained under persistent bearish pressure, with any upside potential capped by prevailing technical weakness. The new Privacy Boost launch adds a positive narrative shift, but with sellers still dominating and resistance near $0.1200–$0.1220, traders should closely monitor whether the upgrade triggers a decisive break above this key zone or if renewed declines drive OP toward the $0.1050 region.
