Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights the ongoing bearish momentum for Optimism (OP). He points out that price action remains firmly below key moving averages and resistance levels. Technicals are overwhelmingly negative, with indicators such as the MACD and ADX reinforcing the selloff. The absence of positive news flow removes any catalyst for a reversal. "Sustained weakness and unrelenting seller dominance severely cap any upside potential in OP right now," Kharitonov states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, acknowledges the steep decline but sees future opportunity within market volatility. He notes that despite today's selloff, OP could attract investors watching for a relief rally or mean reversion. The broader ecosystem and utility still lay foundations for future growth. "Periods of strong pressure often precede fresh setups, and I remain confident that OP will offer compelling entry points ahead," Karapetjanc affirms.

Bearish momentum intensifies as moving averages set resistance ceiling

The current price of OP at $0.2927 is well below the MA-20 at $0.3511, MA-50 at $0.3976, and MA-200 at $0.6143, signaling sustained downward pressure across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes. Dynamic resistance is indicated by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $0.3708, which is notably above the current price and acts as a ceiling for any rebound attempts. Momentum indicators remain strongly bearish, with the MACD on the daily showing a clear sell signal and ADX reflecting a strong trend favoring sellers. Both the RSI and CCI are in sell territory, although not yet deep in oversold, while Stoch RSI oscillates around neutral on the daily but shows oversold conditions in shorter timeframes. Intraday, sellers dominate as BBP also signals bearish momentum, and the daily move is sharply down by 10.46%. There was a slight gap down at the open, with the current price sitting near today’s low of $0.2896, indicating high intraday volatility and sustained selling pressure after the open. Most momentum and oscillator readings align with this trend, confirming sellers’ control.
