Investor confidence rises as Fed cuts and tariff truce lift sentiment

Internet Computer gained strong support after the Federal Reserve’s second consecutive rate cut to 3.75%-4.00% and a US-China tariff truce, both of which helped lift sentiment and trading volumes for the asset. The rally was also fueled by increased investor confidence in digital assets and sector-specific momentum. Secondary news pointed to a short-term recovery in ICP amid ongoing market weakness.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees ICP's technical structure as fragile with short-term momentum losing reliability. He notes that despite positive macro sentiment following the Fed’s rate cut and US-China tariff truce, multiple overbought oscillators and persistent bearish signals from the MACD and ADX suggest the rally is likely exhausted. Kharitonov highlights that price remains capped below the MA-50 and MA-200, reinforcing the downside risks. "Overbought conditions and lackluster long-term indicators leave ICP highly vulnerable to a sharp pullback in the coming sessions."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, attributes ICP’s current relative strength partially to improved macro conditions and the sector-wide boost in investor sentiment spurred by US policy moves. He views the recent price surge and renewed volumes as evidence of constructive opportunity, noting that if dynamic supports hold and the $3.90 resistance is broken, the bullish structure remains intact. Karapetjanc points out that growing confidence in digital assets and supportive news can aid further upward development. "Given the positive macro backdrop and strong short-term momentum, I see the market offering multiple setups for forward-looking traders."

Overbought indicators heighten exhaustion risk amid strong price rally

Dynamic support sits near the Ichimoku Kijun at $2.90, with resistance seen at the MA-50 ($3.90), which also serves as the next significant barrier. Momentum signals diverge, with the MACD on D1 indicating strong bearish sentiment while the ADX signals a sell but with high trend strength. Oscillators such as the RSI ($50.39$), Stoch RSI ($100.00$), and CCI ($85.26$) show clear overbought conditions, suggesting the rally may be overextended. BBP confirms buyers are currently dominating the intraday action. The daily movement is strong with a gain of 20.53% to $3.64, opening with a gap up from $3.02 to $3.44, and the price now sits at the upper end of today’s range, signaling high volatility and strength toward the highs. There is a notable divergence between overbought oscillators and the ongoing bullish price momentum, indicating a risk of short-term exhaustion even as intraday price is confirmed by strong buying pressure.

Last time we reported that momentum signals are strongly bearish as technical indicators confirmed seller dominance. Previously, it was noted that persistent bearish momentum as key indicators dominate trading dynamics for ICP.
