Optimism (OP) Bulls Sets Sights On $1.8, Is the Downtrend Doomed?

Optimism current price action has caught the markets attention as bullish momentum builds, driving the price toward the pivotal $1.8 level. This upward drive could mark a potential turning point, challenging the prevailing downtrend that has kept the bulls in check for weeks. As buyers regain control, speculations are, is the once-dominant bearish trend on the verge of collapse, or will resistance at $1.8 hold firm?  This analysis explores the recent positive momentum propelling Optimism toward the crucial $1.8 resistance level and assesses whether this push can halt the ongoing downtrend. It will also provide insights into potential outcomes and conclude with an outlook on whether the bulls can maintain their strength or if the bears are poised to regain control by examining technical indicators and key price levels. In the last 24 hours, OP has gained a 5.32% increase, reaching approximately $1.44. The crypto asset market capitalization has surpassed $1.7 billion, with trading volume exceeding $135 million. Over this period, the market cap has increased by 5.40%, while trading volume has surged by 11.78%. Assessing Optimisms Bullish Momentum Toward Key $1.8 Resistance Optimism’s price is currently bullish, trading above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart. If the bulls sustain their strength above this key indicator, it could drive the cryptocurrency toward further gains, aiming for the $1.8 resistance level. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that Optimism could continue its surge toward the $1.8 resistance level. The signal line has risen above 50% and is trending around 69%, suggesting that upbeat pressure remains strong in the market. On the daily chart, OPs price is demonstrating stability following a successful rejection at the $1.4 mark. This steadiness suggests that the bullish momentum may persist, potentially enabling the price to rise further toward the $1.8 resistance level and the 100-day SMA. If the bulls continue to exert their influence, it could set the stage for more gains and reinforce the upward trend. Finally, the 1-day RSI indicates that bullish momentum for Optimism is building up, with the signal line currently around 50.81% after surpassing the 50% mark, indicating a potential for additional upward movement for the asset. Momentum And Market Moves: Whats Next For Optimism As It Eyes $1.8? Should the current propitious pressure continue and drive OPs price above the $1.8 level, it could signal the beginning of a bullish rally. The breakout might propel the asset toward the next resistance at $3 and potentially higher levels. However, if Optimism rebounds from the $1.8 level, it might retrace to its previous low of $1. A break below this level could indicate further downside momentum, potentially leading the cryptocurrency toward the $0.4 range and other lower levels.

Optimism Activates Fault-Proofs On Mainnet, OP Is Down 55% In 3 Months

In a major milestone for Ethereum and layer-2s, Optimism, a layer-2 scaling platform for the second most valuable network, has announced the activation of open source and permissionless fault proofs. Even though the platform manages over $7 billion of assets, according to L2Beat, Optimism, like most optimistic rollups, lacked a way of trustlessly verifying transactions. It relied on a centralized sequencer and fraud-proof system for this function. Optimism Activates Trustless Fraud-Proof System Activating the open-source fault-proof system is crucial to creating a more decentralized and secure future for the Optimism ecosystem. Overall, fault proofs are a critical component, allowing users to verify the validity of all offchain transactions. Related Reading: Ex-Ripple Director Explains XRP Price Slide Amid Good News Most importantly, it allows users to challenge any fraudulent activity on Optimism, creating a safeguard against unauthorized withdrawals, for example, and much more.   In a post, Optimism Labs said the layer-2 platform relied on a centralized system. Here, the Optimism Security Council held the power to initiate withdrawals. However, the platform eliminates this dependency with trustless fault proof in place. This means that any user can withdraw tokens without the council intervening. The power move is huge for the community and decentralization. Even so, to ensure the safe implementation of this fault-proof system, the Optimism Security Council will still have the power, at least temporarily, to intervene in cases of critical failures. This decision means Optimism will continue to operate securely as it decentralizes gradually.   Eventually, the platform plans to release a “multi-proof nirvana” that is open-source and modular, possibly including zero-knowledge proofs. This will go beyond the current “Cannon” system. Buterin Acknowledgement, But Why Is OP Crashing? Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, acknowledged this milestone, welcoming Optimism to the “club of stage 1+ L2s.” Nonetheless, the co-founder still needed more zero-knowledge proof-based layer-2 platforms to join the ranks.   Optimism is the second layer-2 platform after Arbitrum to announce the release of fault-proof systems, though both are still being tested. Dubbed the Bounded Liquidity Delay (BOLD), Arbitrum’s fraud-proof system was launched on Testnet early last month. Despite this milestone, OP is firm but under pressure in the first half of June.
