Bears Tighten the Grip on Optimism (OP), As Its Price Falls 11%
OP is trending downward, the cryptocurrency has been declining steadily since reaching $2.50 in late 2024. Optimism price has formed a clear descending channel that has continued into 2025.
All moving average indicators are currently showing a bearish pattern. The 50-period EMA is at $0.763 and above the current price. On the other hand, the 100 and 200-period EMAs are all falling, with the 200 EMA at $1.146.
The presence of this alignment signals that sellers are still leading the market in the medium to long run. The fact that the price hasn’t bounced above the shortest-term moving average means it is likely to remain weak in the short term.
Moreover, according to CoinMarketCap data, at the time of writing, OP price is trading at $0.696 with an intraday decline of 11%, indicating bearishness. The daily trading volume is at $251.38 million, and the volume-to-market ratio is 21.17%
What’s Next in Optimism (OP) Price?
The MACD histogram is showing a mixed signal, as the indicator is close to zero at -0.005. Although the sharp drops earlier in the year are less frequent now, the absence of a bullish crossover means buyers have not yet gained control. The social sentiment indicator also shows that people are feeling pessimistic about the asset, as the indicator is -0.217.
Resistance levels to watch out for are found at $0.763 (50 EMA), then at $1.00, and finally at $1.146 (200 EMA). There is not much support, as the price is now at its lowest level in many months. If the price falls below $0.65, it might lead to more selling and a drop to $0.50.
If OP wants to reverse, it must regain the $0.80 level. It should show strong buying for some time above the 50-period moving average and see improvements in momentum and social indicators.
