ICP Softens as Failed Breakout Above $5.17 Shifts Market Back Into Consolidation
A surge in trading activity at key resistance levels marked the exhaustion of Monday’s rally, sending ICP back toward its short-term support band.

What to know:
- ICP trades at $4.90, down 6.48%, after momentum reversed at the $5.17 resistance zone.
- Volume rose 32% above trend during the failed breakout, marking a clear inflection point.
- The token now sits in a tight $4.92–$4.97 consolidation range that may dictate the next breakout.
ICP lost ground over the past 24 hours, sliding to $4.90 as its recent upside momentum faded at the key $5.17 resistance area.
The move follows Monday’s sharp rally, which pushed the token into the upper boundary of its short-term range before encountering exhaustion, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Trading activity intensified as ICP attempted to extend the rally. A morning spike to 3.03 million tokens, about 32% above the 24-hour average, coincided with the failed breakout at $5.17. Hourly charts then transitioned into a clear pattern of lower highs and lower lows across a $0.39 range, signaling a shift into corrective structure rather than continuation.
Later in the session, ICP found temporary footing around $4.92, rebounding to $4.97 on elevated intraday volume before stalling again. The rejection formed a fresh local resistance level, keeping the token locked inside a tightening consolidation band between $4.92 and $4.97.
While the pullback erases a portion of earlier advances, it does not yet break the broader trend that began in early November. Instead, the current setup reflects a pause within a larger move, with the $4.92 zone acting as a pivotal reference for short-term sentiment. A clean break above $4.97 would be needed to refocus attention on the $5.17 ceiling; failure to hold support raises the risk of a more prolonged retracement.
