ICP Slides 5.5% as Bulls Lose Momentum After Volatile Session

ICP$3.7801 lost ground after a weekend rally, sliding 5.48% to $3.77 as momentum faded following a failed attempt to break above short-term resistance near $4.28.

ICP climbed to nearly $4.30 late on Sunday, before tracking downward throughout much of Monday. Trading volume reached 8.7 million tokens, approximately 70% above the daily average, confirming that the retracement was driven by strong participation rather than low-liquidity drift, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

ICP fell to $3.70 by the late European morning before climbing back above $4 over the next two hours. This rally however faltered and ICP tracked back to $3.70. The day’s wide $0.58 range represented nearly 15% intraday volatility, underscoring the persistent tug-of-war between bullish accumulation and profit-taking.

Despite the setback, the broader uptrend structure remains intact so long as ICP holds above $3.70, which now represents an important pivot level for short-term direction. A recovery back above $3.95 could restore bullish confidence and open a path toward $4.10–$4.15, while a break below $3.70 may trigger further downard pressure into the $3.60 range.
