OP Eyes $4.2 After Falling Wedge Breakout

A prominent crypto analyst, Alex Clay, highlighted that Optimism (OP) is drawing attention after staging an impressive rebound from its recent market dip. Technical analysts note that OP has broken out of a sharp falling wedge pattern, a formation widely regarded as a bullish reversal signal. 

The move suggests that the altcoin may be preparing for a broader recovery phase, following weeks of price compression.

The thing that makes this setup particular is the accumulation experienced at the point of the wedge. Traders regard this sort of price action as a classic signal that smart money is entering the market, accumulating patiently for a bigger up move.
