Highlights

Internet Computer (ICP) dropped 11.62% to $7.91 but remains above its MA-20 at $4.19, MA-50 at $4.09, and MA-200 at $4.93, confirming bullish momentum despite session weakness.
Major product advances, including canister smart contracts, Caffeine AI integration, and 21.4 GB on-chain storage, coincided with new partnerships and ICP perpetual contracts, but DApp engagement declined and security concerns persisted.
ICP exhibits strong positive daily momentum and overbought signals—RSI at 86.66, Stoch RSI fully overbought, CCI elevated—but forward expectations are bearish, with a high-volatility range of $4.91 to $7.86 and upside probability below 20%.

Product launches and partnerships offset by declining DApp use and security issues

Internet Computer saw major product developments with its canister smart contracts, integration of the Caffeine AI platform, 21.4 GB on-chain storage, HTTP outcalls for Web2-Web3 connectivity, and a reverse-gas model for developers. Secondary drivers included new partnerships such as Coelacanth Energy's liquidity initiative and the launch of ICP perpetual contracts with 5x leverage on Hyperliquid. Despite increased institutional attention and a rise in total DeFi value locked, DApp engagement on the platform declined and security concerns persisted.

Overbought signals build as strong trend faces intraday pressure

The price of ICP at $7.91 is trading well above the MA-20 at $4.19, the MA-50 at $4.09, and the MA-200 at $4.93, confirming a strong bullish trend across short, medium, and long timeframes. Ichimoku indicates dynamic support at $6.31 (Kijun), with the next potential resistance near the MA-50 on the weekly chart at $8.59. Momentum remains positive on daily timeframes, with a strong ADX value reflecting trend strength and a bullish MACD. However, overbought signals dominate — RSI stands at 86.66, Stoch RSI is fully overbought, and CCI is elevated, warning of exhaustion. BBP indicates buyers are driving intraday momentum, which is confirmed by the Awesome Oscillator's supportive reading. The daily session has seen sharp weakness, with ICP dropping 11.62% to $7.91 after opening nearly flat at $8.97 compared to the previous close of $8.95 — thus, there was minimal gap. The current price is near the lower end of today’s $7.56 – $9.38 range, volatility is high, and the tone is one of pressure after the open. Despite recent trend strength, the divergence between overbought oscillators and continued positive momentum suggests buyer fatigue may be building.

Consolidation likely as upside momentum fades and support tested

For the next five trading days, the expected price range is $4.91 to $7.86. The probability of further price increases is very low (less than 20%), making a decline more likely. In the baseline scenario, ICP consolidates sideways between support near $6.31 and resistance around $8.59. If bullish momentum unexpectedly persists and the price surpasses resistance, a move toward $8.59 – $9.00 could develop. On the other hand, a break below dynamic support at $6.31 could trigger accelerated declines toward the lower forecasted boundary at $4.91.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees clear signs of buyer exhaustion in ICP despite previous bullish momentum. The analyst notes that overbought technicals and declining DApp engagement point to rising downside risk. He believes the fundamental backdrop is not strong enough to offset short-term selling pressure. "With momentum faltering and support at $6.31 in focus, I remain cautious — the base case is sideways or lower unless buyers reclaim control above resistance."

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.
