Internet Computer

ICP$5.4544 showed signs of resilience in a turbulent 24-hour window, climbing as high as $5.6781 before consolidating just below the $5.50 mark. Despite late-session selling, the token remains poised for potential recovery amid ongoing volatility.

Starting July 13 at 17:00 UTC, ICP began a steady ascent, reaching its session high of $5.6781 early on July 14. This rally was underpinned by a significant increase in volume, topping 800,000 units during its most aggressive upward leg between 02:00 and 05:00 UTC. Bulls briefly tested resistance above $5.67, a level that had historically capped upside momentum.

However, intense selling pressure set in shortly after the peak, driving prices downward in a rapid reversal. During the hour ending at 16:05 UTC on July 14, the token dipped 1% to $5.45, decisively breaking through the $5.48 support threshold. A volume spike near 50,000 units during the 15:48-15:49 UTC interval further confirmed heightened bearish activity.

Despite the pullback, ICP has found near-term stability in a lower trading channel between $5.44 and $5.46.
