Story Protocol’s IP Token Jumps 26% on South Korean Buying

Overbought readings alongside negative funding leave the technical breakout’s durability in question.

Overview

  • IP spiked to as high as $2.90 before easing to roughly $2.75 in Monday trading.
  • Reported 24-hour turnover reached about $272 million to $325 million, with South Korea’s Upbit handling roughly 45% of activity.
  • Charts indicate a break above key moving averages following a months-long slide from a September 2025 peak.
  • Momentum gauges flagged stretched conditions, including a Money Flow Index above 90 and an RSI near 73, pointing to heightened pullback risk.
  • Perpetual markets showed sell-side pressure, with the OI‑weighted funding rate near -0.1638 as some market views highlighted $3 as a possible near-term target.
