ICP pushed back above the $3 level on rising trading activity, maintaining recent gains as market participants reassess the short-term direction.

The token gained about 3% over the past 24 hours, trading near $3.01 after briefly climbing to around $3.03. The advance extended a short-term recovery from the upper $2.80s, with price action gradually forming higher lows before breaking through the psychologically important $3.00 mark, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data.

The move above $3.00 was accompanied by an increase in volume, pointing to renewed engagement as ICP challenged a level that has recently served as both support and resistance.

Attention now turns to $3.00 as a near-term support zone. A sustained hold above that level could open the door to further gains toward the $3.05–$3.10 range, where selling pressure has previously emerged. A pullback below $3.00 would instead shift focus back to the $2.95 area, which has acted as a base during recent retracements.

For now, ICP’s ability to remain above $3.00 keeps the short-term bias constructive, with traders monitoring volume and follow-through to determine whether the move develops into a broader push higher or settles into consolidation.
