OP price

The Optimism coin has been in a marked decline for the past two months, as indicated by a sharp downward trendline on the daily chart. The coin price reverted thrice from this dynamic resistance indicating the traders continue to sell this asset at market bounce, a key sign of an established downtrend.

However, with the recent Bitcoin halving, the OP found suitable around the $2 psychological level to form a local bottom. A positive turnaround from this support has uplifted the asset by 45% within a fortnight to the current trade at $2.63.

With a 12.6% intraday jump, the coin price teases a breakout from the overhead trendline. A daily candle closing above the resistance trendline will signal a change in market dynamics favoring buyers.

The post-breakout rally could surge the Optimism coin to a potential target of $3.4, followed by $4, and $4.78.

On a contrary note, if the supply pressure and a descending trendline persist, the ongoing consolidation may prolong aiming for a breakdown below the $2 support.
