ICP Climbs Amid Institutional Activity, Eyes Key Breakout
Internet Computer (ICP) demonstrated resilience over the past 24 hours, rallying to $5.6781 before consolidating just below the $5.50 mark. While late-session selling pressure weighed on prices, the token remains positioned for a possible rebound despite ongoing market volatility.
The upward move began on July 13 around 17:00 UTC, as ICP steadily advanced, reaching its session high early on July 14. Strong institutional interest drove the surge, with trading volume exceeding 800,000 units between 02:00 and 05:00 UTC. Bulls attempted to push past resistance near $5.67, a level that has repeatedly capped upward momentum.
However, selling intensified shortly after the peak, sparking a quick reversal. During the hour ending at 16:05 UTC on July 14, ICP declined 1% to $5.45, breaching support at $5.48. A brief spike in volume—nearly 50,000 units traded between 15:48 and 15:49 UTC—further signaled heightened selling pressure.
Despite this setback, ICP has stabilized in a narrower trading range between $5.44 and $5.46.
