Optimism up 7.74% today at $0.1336

Highlights

Optimism completed a buyback of over 9.4 million OP tokens, reducing circulating supply and supporting market values.
A large wallet acquired 3 million OP tokens worth $3.855 million, adding buyer pressure and decreasing available float.
OP/USD trades in a bullish trend with price jumping 7.74% to $0.1336, likely to remain in the $0.1238 to $0.1434 range.

Supply reduction and large accumulation as buyback drives demand

Optimism’s recently completed buyback program, purchasing over 9.4 million OP tokens according to Tokenpost, reduces circulating supply and directly supports current market valuations. This corporate action not only demonstrates commitment from project leadership but also mechanically enhances scarcity, reinforcing short-term demand pressures. Additionally, Tokenpost reports that a large wallet accumulated 3 million OP tokens worth $3.855 million in recent weeks, adding to buyer-driven momentum and limiting available supply for sale.

Market uncertainty as oscillators diverge from bullish technical zones

On the hourly timeframe, OP is trading above both the MA-20 and MA-50, while on the daily, it remains well above the MA-200, showing strong short-, medium-, and long-term support zones. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $0.1261 marks immediate support. Momentum indicators present a mixed picture: MACD and ADX are Neutral, RSI remains in Buy territory, CCI and Bull/Bear Power skew to buyers, while Stoch RSI and Awesome Oscillator are Neutral. The divergence between momentum and oscillators highlights pockets of market uncertainty despite dominant intraday buying interest highlighted by Bull/Bear Power.

Bullish scenario favored as price eyes resistance breakout

In the near term, the expected price range for OP stands between $0.1238 and $0.1434, reflecting typical volatility around current levels. A further upward move is more probable, with a 75% likelihood of continuation higher and only a 25% chance of a pullback. The baseline scenario envisions price consolidating within this band; a break above resistance sets up a bullish extension, while a drop below the Kijun support would raise the risk of a corrective move.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, notes the structural support from Optimism’s buyback and notable wallet accumulation. He sees ongoing demand but cautions that momentum signals are not fully aligned. The risk of a near-term pullback remains if support at $0.1261 fails. "Despite positive headlines, I stay defensive until OP proves it can hold above the recent support zone."

Earlier, analysts noted that Optimism was experiencing sustained short- and medium-term weakness with a prevailing bearish outlook. The latest developments—including the completed buyback program and significant accumulation by a large wallet—signal a notable shift to upside momentum, making a move above $0.1434 resistance a key level to monitor for bullish continuation.
