Welcome to the 51st episode of The #ICP Pulse Season 2, your daily dose of all things on $ICP
Let's get into today's episode, frens🚀
1️⃣$ICP Price action
And, exactly as we predicted.
We firmly got support within this range and are currently bouncing.
Now, to overtake the upper resistance, we need a huge amount of volume, considering its previous rejections as we observe the chart.
As always, take notes ✍️
NFA, so DYOR :)
Note that we are not going into deep analysis on On-chain or any other usual stuff, as we have to discuss what happened at the R&D Meeting, which was released on the 29th of March, yesterday.
