1inch (1INCH) price is showing early signs of strength, trading around $0.243 at the time of writing on Wednesday, as it approaches a key resistance zone. A breakout above this barrier could extend double-digit gains ahead. On-chain data further support the bullish view, as daily transactions and active addresses surge, indicating growing network activity. Adding to this optimism, the technical momentum suggests that bulls may soon regain control, opening the door for a potential rally.
Santiment’s Daily Active Addresses index, which tracks network activity over time, paints a bullish picture for 1INCH. A rise in this metric indicates increased blockchain usage, while a decline in addresses suggests lower demand for the network.
In 1INCH’s case, Daily Active Addresses rose to 551 on Monday from 267 on Saturday, the highest level since mid-July, signaling growing network activity, which bodes well for the 1inch price.

1inch price found support around its daily level at $0.234 on Monday and recovered 3.21% the next day, nearing a key resistance zone between $0.247 and $0.254, where the 50-day, 100-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) converge with a descending trendline of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart. A breakout above this zone favours bulls, and at the time of writing on Wednesday, 1INCH hovers around $0.243.
If 1inch closes above the 50-day EMA level at $0.254 on a daily basis, it could extend the rally toward the 50% Fibonacci retracement, drawn from the June 22 low of $0.157 to the July high of $0.391, at $0.274. A successful close above this level could extend gains toward the next resistance at $0.302 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 45, approaching its neutral level of 50, indicating a fading of bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines are also nearing each other with decreasing red histogram bars, suggesting a bullish crossover could happen in the coming sessions.
