ICP Slips 5% as Key Support Levels Buckle Under Selling Pressure

Internet Computer Protocol’s native token ICP declined 4.77% over the past 24 hours, slipping from $5.66 to $5.39 as sellers overwhelmed buyers during a period of intensified downward pressure.

The asset traded within a $0.33 range between $5.68 and $5.35, reflecting 5.3% volatility, according to CoinDesk's technical analysis data model.

The most decisive breakdown occurred between the early European morning and mid-afternoon on Tuesday, when the token breached the crucial $5.55 support level amid a surge of volume to 647,663 contracts, well above the daily average of 356,394.

Despite a brief stabilization phase near $5.38 toward the end of the window, recovery momentum failed to materialize. From 07:06 to 08:05 on July 30, ICP pulled back 0.92%, falling from $5.44 to $5.39 in choppy trade. Repeated tests of the $5.38 support level occurred during the 07:40–07:55 window, highlighting ongoing bearish control over short-term price action.

ICP’s weakness comes even as the DFINITY Foundation advances ecosystem development. The launch of Internet Computer 2.0, which introduces tools for creating applications using natural language prompts without coding experience, reflects the network’s continued push toward usability and developer accessibility.

However, these long-term innovations have yet to translate into sustained bullish price action.
