Gmgmgmgm Square Fam!
It's with great pleasure I am glad to announce that the newsletter is resuming officially for the masses.
Now, without further ado, LFGđ
1ïžâŁ#ICP Price action
Yeah, I know that the ICP community has seen a lot of things since the last episode, and we are almost on a roundtrip, which is fine because we don't attempt to sell in the short term.
Imo, this is a very healthy correction considering BTC's flash crashes that we've seen in the past [obviously alts crash harder when BTC dumps]
But now, we've reached this interesting point in the 1D timeframe, which I expect to be a strong support zone.
We might also consolidate this range for some time, before heading towards the upside.
As always, NFA so DYOR.
Note that we aren't going into deep analysis on our usual stuff, as we have to discuss what happened at the R&D Meeting, which was released on the 27th of June 2024.
