ICP Holds Firm, Advances 2.8% Amid Heavy Trading Activity

Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) showed notable resilience over the past 24 hours, rising 2.8% even as the broader CoinDesk 20 index gained a more modest 1.9%. The token traded within a tight but active 5% range, fluctuating between lows of $4.60 and highs of $4.84, according to CoinDesk Research.

The sharpest pullback occurred late Monday, when ICP dropped from $4.74 to $4.60 between 20:00 and 21:00 UTC on surging volumes that exceeded 827,000 units—more than double the 24-hour average turnover of 387,000. The dip proved short-lived, as $4.60 established itself as a support level, attracting renewed buying interest.

From there, ICP staged a recovery, pushing toward resistance near $4.83–$4.84. Volume remained elevated during the rebound, topping 26,000 units at critical junctures compared with a typical hourly average of 5,500. The price action signaled a breakout configuration, with consolidation around $4.82–$4.83 giving way to a swift move higher.

Analysts note that ICP’s ability to sustain demand at lower levels could bolster its bullish outlook. Fibonacci extension levels above $4.85 now stand out as potential upside targets if momentum persists.
