Optimism [OP] defied Bitcoin’s [BTC ] price action and hiked 33% between Wednesday and Friday (22 and 24 February). One of the driving factors behind the rally was the announcement of the Optimism Superchain. A bold step to push Ethereum to an internet-level scale to drive mass adoption.

Long-term bulls could wait to re-enter the market if OP dropped to $2.837 or the channel’s mid-level of $2.657. However, the ideal entry for a long position would be $2.479 or the channel’s lower boundary of $2.1.
