Institutional flows increase as network upgrades drive sentiment shift

The Internet Computer network introduced major upgrades, including ICP 2.0 featuring an AI-powered application builder Caffeine and Internet Identity 2.0, aimed at enhancing privacy and security. These developments coincided with notable increases in market capitalization and are supported by robust trading volumes, on-chain accumulation, and heightened institutional interest. The blockchain has also processed over 262 billion transactions to date, underscoring its leading position by total transaction volume.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the current ICP rally as technically overextended. He notes the price trades far above major moving averages, with almost all momentum indicators in severe overbought territory. Despite strong news around AI integration and ecosystem upgrades, Kharitonov remains wary, emphasizing that high volumes and institutional attention may still precede reversal. He highlights the clear bearish divergence between price action and caution signals. "Recovery looks impressive, but these overbought readings and gap-ups are classic signals for a sharp correction or at least protracted consolidation," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views Internet Computer’s advances as setting the stage for fresh growth. He emphasizes the significance of ICP 2.0, dynamic on-chain accumulation, and an institutional push reinforcing bullish momentum. Karapetjanc sees opportunity in powerful trading volume and massive transaction throughput, confirming the network’s strong fundamentals. "The bullish structure remains intact — with ongoing upgrades and robust sentiment, further growth is expected and the market offers multiple setups for active traders," he says.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, adopts a scenario-based approach to ICP’s sharp 30.15% surge. He notes that overbought momentum might signal a tactical pullback, yet a confirmed breakout above $8.00 could trigger a renewed leg higher. Mehta sees a divergence in sentiment as a contrarian entry point for nimble traders. "If the resistance at $8.00 breaks, fast moves could follow — but sideways consolidation appears likely unless volatility subsides," he says.

Momentum remains strong despite persistent overbought technical signals

Momentum remains robust as daily ADX is elevated and MACD signals strong upward pressure. However, overbought conditions are flashing across RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI, while BBP also confirms buyers dominate the session. The Awesome Oscillator supports the bullish direction, aligning with the day’s sharp gain of $1.80 or 30.15% upward. Today’s session opened with a notable gap higher above the previous close ($5.97 to $6.71). The current price is trading near the upper end of today’s range ($6.46–$8.17), reflecting high volatility and sustained strength toward session highs. Despite momentum confirmation, the persistent overbought readings highlight a divergence, raising caution for potential pullback or sideways consolidation.

Last time we reported that momentum signals were strongly bearish as technical indicators confirmed seller dominance. Previously it was noted that persistent bearish momentum continued as key technical indicators reflected downside pressure in ICP’s trading dynamics.
