The weekly chart shows that ICX has been struggling to move above the $3.10 resistance area since March 28. The resistance is created by the 0.618 Fib retracement level of the previous downward movement. 

Despite the decrease, technical indicators are still bullish. Both the MACD & Stochastic Oscillator are positive. In addition, the RSI has generated hidden bullish divergence.

Therefore, the token is expected to continue moving upwards. A breakout from the $3.10 resistance could occur. If so, the next resistance level would be found at $4.90.

However, the current all-time high is still more than 500% above the current price. Therefore, the initial reclaim of the $4.90 area is crucial in order to allow for the price to continue moving upwards.

Short-term movement

The short-term chart provides a bullish outlook. While the token has been decreasing since May 7, it is trading inside a descending wedge. This is considered a bullish reversal pattern. 

In addition, it is in the process of reclaiming the 0.786 Fib retracement support at $1.86. This is a bullish sign, since it is occurring after an initial deviation (red circle).
