The rally began around 03:00 UTC, with ICP posting three consecutive higher lows through 12:00, setting up a momentum-driven move that carried prices to an intraday peak of $3.23 before consolidating slightly lower near $3.22.

ICP dropped back during the U.S. morning to trade just below the $3.20 mark.

The session’s trading range of $0.10 reflected 3.1% intraday volatility, consistent with a healthy breakout move rather than speculative whipsawing.

Its technical structure now shows horizontal support solidifying between $3.16–$3.17, a key zone that previously acted as resistance. Sustained price action above $3.20 would point toward a prior ceiling flipping to a new floor.

A stronger yen typically coincides with de-risking across macro portfolios, and that dynamic could tighten liquidity conditions that recently helped bitcoin rebound from November’s lows.

What to know:

  • The Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates to 0.75% at its December meeting, the highest since 1995, affecting global markets including cryptocurrencies.
  • A stronger yen could lead to de-risking in macro portfolios, impacting liquidity conditions that have supported bitcoin's recent recovery.
  • Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated a high probability of a rate hike, with officials prepared for further tightening if their economic outlook supports it.
