By: cryptonews|2025/05/04 05:45:01

Traders turned optimistic this week as Bitcoin surpassed $97,000, paving the way for capital rotation to GameFi, DeFi and Layer 2 tokens. ImmutableX’s IMX token stands out among the rest with double-digit gains on Friday. The native utility token of the gaming platform rallied 10% before erasing gains at the end of the week, and printed over 5% weekly gains. The ImmutableX (IMX) chain addresses the scalability and cost of the Ethereum blockchain. IMX posted over 30% gains in the past month and hovers around key resistance at $0.70.

The weekly price chart mimics the daily chart, RSI is sloping upward, MACD is flashing a green histogram bar after consecutive red histogram bars.

IMX price prediction If the gaming token’s bullish momentum is sustained, the IMX price could test resistance labeled R2 on the daily timeframe at $0.785. IMX currently trades at $0.627, close to the $0.70 resistance. Nearly 12% rally could push IMX to test R1 at $0.70. The lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap at $0.508 is a key support for the gaming token. The $0.508 level comes into play if there is a flash crash or a correction in IMX. RSI and MACD support a bullish thesis for ImmutableX’s native token, traders could expect further gains in IMX in the coming week. Sidelined buyers need to watch for a correction under $0.60 to add to their positions or buy the dip in IMX. IMX on-chain and sentiment analysis On-chain data intelligence platform Santiment shows that the total number of IMX holders has increased at a steady pace between February 25 and May 2. IMX token holder count has climbed to 94,300. The total open interest recorded a large positive spike on May 2 before receding. Open Interest climbed to $30.49 million, a relatively high volume of open contracts for a gaming token. Total count of whale transactions valued at $1 million and higher is down, after several consecutive spikes in transaction count. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index on Alternative.me reads “Greed,” a turnaround from the “extreme fear” sentiment among market participants last month. The indicator’s value ranged between 65 and 67 last week and at the time of writing. Market participants’ sentiment is slowly recovering and turning bullish, per the indicator. Catalysts driving gains in IMX token Web3 gaming engagement climbed in Q1 2025 after a slowdown in the last quarter of 2024. A boost in user activity, interest in games, and user engagement caused native tokens of gaming blockchain platforms to note a rally in their prices. NFT may have lost relevance amidst the market turmoil, barring a few blue-chip projects like Pudgy Penguins, however data gathered by Messari shows that the pullback was modest. IMX announced its plans of merging into the zero-knowledged Immutable zkEVM chain to form a single unit, labeled “Immutable Chain.” The key technical development at a time when Web3 gaming gathers attention in the ecosystem, has acted as a catalyst for IMX price rally. Rising number of token holders drives consistent demand across exchange platforms and supports further gains in the web3 gaming token. Coupled with bullish on-chain and technical activity, IMX is in a position to extend gains. GameFi market insights Messari’s “State of ImmutableX Q1 2025” report notes that the average daily transactions on IMX climbed 5.7% QoQ. Web3 gaming growth supported the rise, IMX notes an underlying network activity resilience even as gaming engagement contracts on competitor platforms. NFT sales volume were hit 1.6% QoQ, the pullback to $78.3 million is considered modest, while in Q4 when ImmutableX’s competitors noted a decline in NFT sales, the platform recorded a 55.3% increase. The development lined up for late 2025, IMX’s merge into the Immutable Chain could act as a key catalyst and support a positive close to the last quarter of 2025. The IMT token’s releases slated for the year include games like Immortal Rising 2, and MARBLEX’s upcoming titles. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has softened its stance on crypto and web3 firms under the Trump administration. The SEC concluded its investigation into Immutable and took no enforcement action. The closing of the Wells Notice issued to the gaming platform serves as a positive development and a likely end to regulatory hurdles faced by the gaming token in 2025.
