As per data from CoinMarketCap, OP was exchanging hands 7% lower over the last 24 hours and almost 15% lower in the last seven days. Additionally, as of 28 June, a tweet from blockchain intelligence platform IntoTheBlock stated that OP witnessed a notable uptick in the number of transactions.

Additionally, the daily volume also witnessed a rebound and went from 10k to almost touching the 40k mark. Could this mean OP is in for some recovery? Let’s find out…

Upon taking a look at the performance metrics, it could be seen that OP’s still had a long way on the recovery path. This was because, at the time of writing, OP’s weighted sentiment stood at -1.025. This was on the lower end considering its performance since the end of February.

In need of a helping hand…

In addition to the aforementioned data, a look at OP’s daily chart also gave a clear idea of ​​what can be expected of the altcoin. OP was exchanging hands at $1.199 at the time of writing. The token traded 8% lower than its opening price for the day. Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), although at 42.16, was seen in a descending position.

This indicated some significant selling pressure in the market. However, at the time of writing, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) still showed some hope. This was because the MACD line (blue) was still moving above the signal line (red). But, looking at the proximity between the two lines, a bearish crossover would be imminent if traders continued selling the token.

Contrary to the RSI, OP’s Money Flow Index (MFI) was at 67.43 and moved sideways at the time of writing.
