ICP Price Bounces Back After Testing $5.29 Support Amid Heavy Volatility

Internet Computer (ICP) just pulled off a Lazarus act—bouncing hard off its $5.29 support level despite crypto markets doing their best impression of a drunken rollercoaster.

Volatility as a feature, not a bug

Traders got whiplash as ICP carved out a bottom at $5.29 before surging back—proving once again that in crypto, 'support' either means 'springboard' or 'trap door' depending on which side of the trade you're on.

The comeback kid

While traditional finance nerds were busy adjusting their spreadsheets, ICP did what crypto does best: ignored fundamentals and moved violently in both directions. The rebound suggests either genuine accumulation or another classic 'pump before the dump'—because what's crypto without a little existential doubt?

Just another Wednesday in the digital casino.
