$ICP | +26.1% (24h) | $4.44

Internet Computer = blockchain network running at web speed.

Hosts smart contracts, dApps, and websites directly onchain without cloud providers.

Price drivers:

• Mission70 white paper: DFINITY Foundation announced plans to cut ICP inflation by 70% in 2026 through reduced token issuance. Lower inflation tightens supply, especially with 40% of ICP already staked. Trading volume spiked 190% on the news. Proposal needs Network Nervous System (NNS) DAO approval in Q1 2026, execution not guaranteed yet.

• Technical breakout: ICP broke a 2-month descending trendline, pushing past $4.00 resistance. MACD showing bullish crossover. $104M in short positions liquidated in 24h as bears got squeezed. Next resistance at $4.46 (200-day moving average).

• Supply leaving exchanges: Exchange netflows show ICP moving to self-custody, exchange supply down 3.7% in 7 days. Reduces immediate selling pressure. However, 165% volume spike suggests speculative interest rather than adoption-driven demand.

• Mixed sentiment: Some analysts targeting $10-$14 citing bull flag pattern. Others warning RSI >70 indicates overheating with potential pullback to $3.00 before further upside.

Technical view:

• RSI: 76 (overbought but momentum-driven)

• Next resistance: $4.46

• Key support: $4.22 (23.6% Fib level)
