ICP Extends Decline as Range Support Breaks, Testing New Lows Near $3.48
Internet Computer slipped back into a declining pattern after early strength faded, with the slide pushing the token toward key December support levels.

What to know:
- ICP fell 5% to $3.4945 after gains reversed into a steady decline.
- The session’s $3.7605 high failed to hold, with the price breaking below its multiday consolidation band.
- Support near $3.45–$3.50 is now a key threshold for determining whether the downtrend extends or stabilizes.
ICP fell 5% in 24 hours to $3.4945, reversing early attempts to regain lost ground and breaking below several short-term support levels.
The token briefly traded as high as $3.7605 before momentum faded and a broad retracement pulled the price steadily lower, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.
The 24-hour trading window spanned a $0.28 range, reflecting 8% intraday volatility as repeated recovery attempts encountered resistance overhead.
Volume reached 2.6 million tokens, with the most active period occurring during a sharp sell-off shortly after 00:00 UTC on Wednesday. That decline drove ICP back toward $3.55, erasing the prior day’s rebound and reestablishing a broader downward structure.
The price then entered a stabilization phase in the $3.50–$3.55 band before a late-session drop carried ICP to lows of $3.4782.
The decline continues a multiday pattern with ICP repeatedly failing to hold above short-term resistance levels. Technical observers are now monitoring whether the token can remain above the $3.45–$3.50 area that has served as a buffer throughout early December. A sustained break below this zone would open the door to a retest of deeper November levels, while any rebound above $3.55 would indicate early signs of momentum repair.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

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.
