Internet Computer (ICP) surged 13.17% after DFINITY revealed its Cloud Engines program will use 20% of enterprise cloud revenue to buy and burn ICP tokens, a move tied to its inflation-reducing 'Mission 70' initiative. The rally is supported by a strong technical structure, with ICP trading above all key moving averages and near-term support holding above $3.43.
Highlights

- Governance proposals aim to reduce first-generation node rewards by 40% and decrease minimum subnet sizes, with enterprise adoption influencing ICP token supply.
- ICP/USD is trading above all major moving averages with upside momentum, a projected range of $2.94 to $3.83, and a very high probability of an upward move.
Token supply hinges on enterprise adoption under new Cloud Engines plan
DFINITY has launched the Cloud Engines program, pledging to allocate 20% of enterprise cloud revenue to ICP token buybacks and burns under the Internet Computer ecosystem's 'Mission 70' plan. Proposals were also put forward to cut first-generation node rewards by 40% and reduce minimum subnet sizes, subject to governance approval. The impact of these measures on ICP supply will depend on enterprise customer adoption and revenue, with notable early deployments including Pakistan’s national Cloud Engine and a UNDP pilot.
Bullish momentum persists despite mixed oscillators and narrow trading range
ICP/USD is currently trading above its major daily moving averages: MA-20 at $3.22, MA-50 at $2.87, and MA-200 at $2.51. This configuration signals short-, medium-, and long-term bullish momentum, strengthened by the MA-50 crossing above the MA-200, with support at $3.43 and resistance at $3.55. Momentum indicators—including a bullish MACD and ADX, along with an RSI at 55.98—signal positive momentum without overbought risk. The Bull/Bear Power (BBP) shows buyers still in control after a sizable gap higher. Some pressure is visible as ICP trades near the low end of today’s range with a volatility amplitude of 3.50%, and mixed oscillator readings (neutral StochRSI, CCI, and Awesome Oscillator) point to a potential pause in upside momentum.
Earlier, analysts noted that Internet Computer was displaying robust bullish momentum supported by favorable technical signals, with expectations for rangebound volatility. The latest developments around DFINITY's Cloud Engines program and reinforced trend structure strengthen the bullish outlook, making the $3.55 resistance a critical level for traders to monitor as a potential trigger for further gains.
