ICP on the 8H timeframe is currently trading around 2.401 after a sustained decline from the early June high near 3.200, with price now compressing between a descending trendline from above and a key horizontal support level near 2.150–2.200.
The chart shows price spiking from the late April range near 2.300–2.400 up to a high near 3.900 in early May before sellers took over and erased the majority of that move. A recovery attempt in late May pushed price back toward 3.200 before rolling over sharply again in early June, dropping into the 2.150–2.200 horizontal support zone that has acted as a floor across the entire visible structure. A descending trendline originates from the May spike high and has capped every recovery since, currently sloping down into the 2.300–2.350 area. Price has been grinding lower along this trendline while sitting just above the horizontal support, creating a compression zone between the two.
Price is now pressing directly into the 2.150–2.200 horizontal support for the second time while the descending trendline continues to push from above, leaving very little room before one of the two levels breaks.
Key Levels To Watch
→ 3.800–3.900 – May spike high, major resistance above
→ 3.100–3.200 – Prior recovery high, resistance
→ 2.650–2.700 – Mid-structure resistance zone
→ 2.300–2.350 – Descending trendline, current overhead resistance (dynamic)
→ 2.150–2.200 – Horizontal support, current test
→ 2.000–2.050 – Next support below, round number zone
→ Below 1.920 – Extended breakdown territory
A hold at the 2.150–2.200 horizontal support and a break above the descending trendline near 2.300–2.350 would signal a structural shift, opening a recovery toward 2.650–2.700 and potentially back toward the 3.100–3.200 resistance on a full trend reversal.
A loss of the 2.150–2.200 horizontal support on a confirmed 8H close would remove the only remaining floor in the structure, exposing price to a move toward 2.000–2.050 and below with the descending trendline continuing to suppress any recovery attempts from above.
Price compressed between descending trendline and horizontal support, decision point near.
Hold 2.150–2.200 and break trendline → recovery opens toward 2.650–2.700. Lose 2.150 → floor gone, downside toward 2.000–2.050. Bias neutral to bearish inside compression. Shift bullish only on confirmed trendline break to the upside.
