Price Compression Points to Possible Volatility Ahead
Popular analyst Alpha Crypto Signal noted that OP is forming a symmetrical triangle. The price is coiling tightly between converging trendlines while staying near the 9EMA, indicating pressure is building.This setup often precedes volatility.
The OP/USDT pair is currently below the 9EMA at $0.4314 and the 50SMA at $0.4348, and is showing limited momentum. Volume has dropped notably, due to reduced trading activity as participants are waiting for confirmation.
A breakout above the upper trendline could send OP toward resistance between $0.46 and $0.48, but a breakdown below $0.42 may open the path toward $0.38.
Market Structure Suggests a Potential Turning Point
Analysts believe a short-term reversal is forming despite recent weakness . Analysts marked the support near $0.410. A bullish reaction from here could trigger a bounce toward $0.489 but failure to hold that level might lead to deeper losses toward $0.362,extending the bearish bias.
This zone could trigger reversal signals such as bullish candles or structural shifts. If OP buyers regain control and break above $0.489 with volume, it may pave the way for further upside momentum,after weeks of compression.
Ecosystem Data Reflects a Period of Stabilization
Optimism’s market cap is reflecting investor caution after recent volatility. Between October 18 and 20, it rose steadily before profit-taking pushed it near $730 million.
OP has shown early signs of recovery, forming higher which shows that buyers are returning with confidence. Holding above $800 million could confirm renewed momentum,but a slip below $740 million may invite more selling pressure.
On-chain data shows Optimism’s Total Value Locked (TVL) around $400 million after peaking above $1 billion in 2022. This consistency suggests the network still holds investor and developer participation trust despite market cooling.
