ICP declined to $4.8119 over the last 24 hours, down 5.57%, as the token extended its retracement from last week’s highs.
The move pushed ICP firmly below the $5.00 threshold—a level that has repeatedly acted as a pivot throughout recent months, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

The decline unfolded across a wide trading range, with prices touching $4.69 at the day's lows.
Trading activity rose sharply, with volume jumping 98% above the daily average, marking one of the most active sessions of November. The increase coincided with repeated failures to regain the $5.00 area, establishing a clearer resistance zone following the steep pullback from earlier monthly highs near $9.50.
Intraday data shows several attempts to stabilize around $4.70, where brief recovery moves produced a series of higher lows alongside volume bursts of 207K and 167K tokens. These signals point to early signs of stabilization even as ICP remains below key resistance.
The broader structure now reflects a shift into short-term consolidation. Immediate resistance sits near $4.75, followed by the more consequential $5.00 threshold. Support between $4.69–$4.70 remains the key zone determining whether ICP can avoid a deeper retracement in the sessions ahead.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
