Highlights

OP remains firmly in a negative trend, trading well below major moving averages with persistent selling pressure dominating.
Multiple technical indicators—including MACD, ADX, and Bull/Bear Power—confirm a strong bearish momentum with no signs of reversal.
Anticipated price range for the next week is $0.0875 to $0.1070, with further downside more likely than any upside breakout.

Bearish technical momentum prevails as sellers control weekly chart

On the weekly chart, OP trades significantly below its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, with the MA-20 at $0.1148 acting as dynamic resistance. Key support for the week is near $0.0875, with resistance at $0.1070. Weekly momentum-based indicators continue to signal strong bearish conditions: the MACD gives a Strong Sell, ADX is in Sell mode, and the RSI is at 33.88, indicating weak momentum but not yet extreme oversold. The Commodity Channel Index readings remain deeply negative, while the Stochastic RSI appears neutral. Both Bull and Bear Power indicators confirm seller dominance, with volatility for the week at 10.63%.

Downward bias dominates as sideways range and breakout risks persist next week

For the next 7 days, OP is expected to move within a range of $0.0875 — $0.1070, consistent with recent volatility and the persistent downward trend. There is a strong probability of further declines, with less than a 20% chance of a significant upside move as none of the four primary indicators signal Buy. The baseline scenario is for OP to consolidate sideways within its lower corridor. A sustained close above $0.1070 could trigger a short-term relief rally, but current indicators do not support this outcome. In the bearish scenario, a break below $0.0875 would expose OP to new yearly lows and keep selling pressure elevated.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, notes that Optimism (OP) continues to exhibit broad technical weakness this week, holding decisively below all major moving averages with persistent negative momentum. Mehta sees strong seller dominance confirmed by the weekly MACD and ADX, with the price anchored near support at $0.0875 and resistance at $0.1070. He highlights little evidence for reversal, but advises watching for potential sentiment shifts if volatility persists near key levels. "The tactical play is capital preservation — I will not consider a contrarian entry unless OP can reclaim $0.1070 on a closing basis next week."

Earlier, analysts noted that Optimism remained entrenched in a bearish trend, with technical indicators reflecting persistent downward pressure. The latest analysis reinforces this negative outlook, highlighting that a sustained drop below $0.0875 would put OP at risk for another leg lower toward new yearly lows.
