Readying to buy Optimism (OP/USD) token after a key breakout is confirmed
Once again, a few cryptocurrencies are sending market waves. Despite remaining largely bearish this year, most tokens are turning up, showing what a bull run will look like. Probably, we are in a bull market. But, with macro shivers continuing to wreak havoc, we would be cautious about making a bull call now.
c is one such token that has surprised the market. Some may have written off the cryptocurrency after it slipped below a crucial $1 price. With a 65% increase in value in the last week, OP is easily one of the top-gaining cryptocurrencies. Improved sentiment has been boosting the token. However, the fact that OP has more gains underlines its strong fundamentals lately.
As CoinJournal reported, several developments have been boosting the Optimism token. One among them is the “OP Stack” launched earlier this month. Without getting into the details, Optimism has been selling itself as an efficient and low-cost blockchain of choice.
We also know that Ethereum has been robust in the past week. As a result, the positive sentiment could be flowing to its L2 scaling solution Optimism. In fact, Optimism considers itself an extension of the Ethereum software. Quoting, “If it works on Ethereum, it works on Optimism at a fraction of the cost” – Optimism team.
