Key Takeaways
Story (IP) took the spotlight by hitting a new all-time high on Sept. 9, contrary to a stumbling crypto market.
After bottoming near record lows in June, the token rallied with an explosive 367% climb.
The main question is whether IP can sustain its bullish momentum or if a sharp pullback looms.
The Story price pumped immediately after launch, but fell considerably since the start of February.
Story’s decline culminated with a low of $2.44 on June 19, which was very close to a new all-time low price.
What followed afterward is nothing short of extraordinary. The price rallied by 367%, hitting a new all-time high of $11.81 on Sept. 9.
While Story fell today, failing to sustain its momentum, the price still trades relatively close to its all-time high.
An interesting development in the price action is the ascending parallel channel where IP has been trading since its inception.
While the channel was not validated previously, yesterday’s rejection confirmed the slope of its resistance trend line.
Because of that, the IP price needs to close above the channel soon to prevent the possibility of a quick bearish trend reversal.

While that possibility remains, momentum indicators do not show any bearish signs, discounting an almost negligible bearish divergence in the RSI (orange).
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is moving upwards with strength, showing zero loss of momentum.
Therefore, despite the ascending parallel channel pattern, the IP price has not shown any bearish trend reversal signs yet and could continue increasing to new highs.
The wave count for IP is a little worrying because of the proportions of the two upward movements.
Story’s original price increase is the exact same length as the one that started in June.
Whenever that happens, it is often a sign that the price has completed an A-B-C structure (red).

If that is the case, the Story price has finished wave C, as illustrated by the completed sub-wave count (green).
While a fifth wave extension could take the IP price to $15.47, the channel’s presence makes the local top more likely to be in.
If that is the case, the price of IP could fall toward the channel’s midline at $8. Once it reaches that point, the reaction can help determine the future trend’s direction.
While indicators suggest that IP still has room to climb, the symmetry in its wave count and the presence of the ascending channel hint at caution.
A rejection from current levels could send the token back toward $8 before deciding its next big move.
Whether IP breaks through resistance or cools off, its next steps will likely set the tone for the rest of the year.
