A major volume spike — 1.83 million tokens, roughly 300% above the short-term average — accompanied the breakdown through $3.99, reinforcing the technical significance of that level. Momentum extended lower into December 1, with total volume reaching 6.85 million tokens, one of the highest readings for ICP in recent days.
Price eventually steadied in the $3.55–$3.65 zone, forming a short-term base before recovering toward $3.69–$3.70. Despite the bounce, the broader structure remains bearish, with a clean series of lower highs visible on the chart and resistance now firmly established at the former $3.99–$4.00 support.
Intraday data shows a period of narrow consolidation between $3.645–$3.700, followed by a small lift that coincided with a localized volume uptick. That move helped reinforce the near-term support band but did not yet alter the overall downward trajectory.

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.

Ripple-linked XRP drops 5%, opening downside risk toward $1.70
Traders are watching $1.80 as near-term support, with $1.87–$1.90 now the key resistance zone.
What to know:
- XRP dropped about 5 percent from $1.91 to near $1.80 as bitcoin’s pullback sparked broad risk-off selling across high-beta tokens.
- The slide accelerated once XRP broke below key support around $1.87 on heavy volume, erasing last week’s gains before buyers stepped in near the $1.78–$1.80 zone.
- Traders now view $1.80 as a crucial support level, with a sustained move back above roughly $1.87–$1.90 needed to signal a corrective pullback rather than the start of a deeper decline.
