ICP Extends Decline as Breakdown Below $3.40 Reinforces Bearish Structure

ICP slid 4.28% as a sharp reversal from early highs pushed the token below short-term support, with volume surging during key inflection points.

What to know:

  • ICP fell from $3.52 to $3.37, carving out a steady intraday downtrend
  • A volume spike near the $3.60 test marked the session’s turning point
  • Price stabilized near $3.33–$3.35 but remains below broken support levels

ICP declined 4.28% over the past 24 hours, sliding from $3.52 to $3.3735 in a session defined by a sharp early reversal and sustained downward momentum.

The token briefly pushed toward the $3.60 area during its strongest rally attempt, but the move stalled quickly and set the tone for the steady, directional decline, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

A significant volume spike accompanied the short-term rally to $3.60, confirming that level as a meaningful resistance zone. Once the rally failed, ICP formed a sequence of lower highs and lower lows, moving through short-term support levels around $3.44 and later $3.40. The decline traced a broad intraday range of roughly 9%, consistent with the elevated volatility seen across the market during the morning hours.

Later in the session, price action slowed as ICP found temporary footing near $3.33–$3.35. Several small recovery attempts emerged, including a brief push to $3.36 during the final hour, though each lacked the volume necessary to challenge newly formed resistance. The market instead settled into a narrow band near the lows, suggesting consolidation rather than confirmed reversal.

Technical conditions now hinge on whether ICP can regain the $3.40 zone, which has flipped into overhead resistance following the breakdown. Holding above $3.33–$3.35 would help stabilize the short-term structure, while failure to do so would leave the door open for a retest of deeper support levels established earlier in the month.

Grab a coffee because the firms shaping crypto’s future are not just building products, but also trying to reshape how capital flows. Crypto News of the Day: VanEck Maps Next Frontier of Crypto Venture Investing VanEck, a Wall Street player known for financial “firsts,” is pushing that legacy into Web3. The firsts include pioneering US gold funds and launching one of the earliest spot Bitcoin ETFs. Sponsored Sponsored “Financial instruments have always been a kind of tokenization. From seashells to traveler’s checks, from relational databases to today’s on-chain assets. You could even joke that VanEck’s first gold mutual funds were the original ‘tokenized gold,’” Juan C. Lopez, General Partner at VanEck Ventures, told BeInCrypto. That same instinct drives the firm’s venture bets. Lopez said VanEck goes beyond writing checks and brings the full weight of the firm. This extends from regulatory proximity to product experiments to founders building the next phase of crypto infrastructure. Asked about key investment priorities, Lopez highlighted stablecoins. “We care deeply about three questions: How do we accelerate stablecoin ubiquity? What will users want to do with them once highly distributed? And what net new assets can we construct now that we have sophisticated market infrastructure?” Lopez added. However, VanEck is not limiting itself to the hottest narrative, acknowledging that decentralized finance (DeFi) is having a renaissance. The VanEck executive also noted that success will depend on new approaches to identity and programmable compliance layered on public blockchains.
