The Ethereum layer-2 token hovers above $2.20 with investors strongly bullish on future price gains. However, certain trading indicators signal otherwise.

After OP’s rally in the past week, the TD sequential now points to a trend exhaustion, suggesting a possible price reversal. Following this signal development, Martinez predicts OP could slide to $2.0. However, further correction could force the token’s price to around $1.80 indicating a potential 18% decline from the current market price. Martinez’s price projection is further backed by OP’s Relative Strength Index, an indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of an asset’s price movement to determine if it is overbought or oversold. According to data from OP’s 4-hour trading chart, the token’s RSI valued at 65.18 and descending from the overbought zone indicates buying pressure is weakening and a potential price correction is imminent.  However, Optimism remains well above its 100-day simple moving average (SMA) which suggests a possible uptrend continuation.  This factor, combined with the present strong bullish sentiments in the altcoin market suggests OP may maintain its current price rally, reaching as high as $2.5 at which lies its next significant market resistance.
