ICP, Aug. 28 2025 (CoinDesk)
  • ICP rallied 3% over the past 24 hours, forming a strong V-shaped recovery pattern.
  • Heavy accumulation at $4.98 support saw volume spikes well above daily averages.
  • Resistance at $5.11 was overcome as ICP rose toward $5.13, positioning for further upside.

Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) demonstrated resilience during the last 24 hours, staging a rally that lifted the token nearly 3% to $5.13.

The move capped a V-shaped recovery that began with an overnight retreat to support levels around $4.98, where a high volume of buying activity took hold, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

After dipping from $5.07, ICP consolidated within the $4.98-$5.00 zone, establishing a base reinforced by trading volume of 372,179 units, substantially above average levels. This accumulation phase marked the turning point, as buying pressure mounted through the early session.

Momentum built steadily before culminating in a decisive breakout late in the period. ICP rose through multiple resistance barriers to touch $5.13, with the final advance fueled by a 272,186-unit volume spike. Resistance that had previously formed near $5.11 was breached, suggesting sellers were losing control of the near-term trend.

Cryptocurrencies such as ICP appear to be drawing fresh interest as alternative asset classes gain traction. The recovery and heavy accumulation at support levels may position ICP for further gains, with the next technical target in sight around $5.18 based on Fibonacci extension levels.

  • Trading corridor: $4.98 to $5.13, representing a 3% range.
