Optimism Price Forecast $0.80–$0.88 by Sep

August 31, 2025
News

Optimism (OP) price models point to modest upside over the coming weeks, but mixed technical signals recommend caution for traders. Current forecasts set a short-term 1-week target of $0.76–$0.80 (roughly +7–13% from today’s $0.71) and a medium-term 1-month/4-week objective of $0.80–$0.88, with the higher end aligning with a September 2025 time horizon.

Key technical levels to watch are clear:

Break above $0.74 — the area where the 20-day SMA sits — would support a bullish continuation toward the $0.80–$0.88 range.
Immediate support sits at $0.67.
Stronger support band around $0.61 should selling intensify.

Analyst models have shifted upward over the past week. DigitalCoinPrice remains the most bullish with a $0.88 target, implying about 24% upside from current levels. CoinLore’s projections have been notably volatile, moving from $0.6727 on August 27 to $0.7996 on August 31. The broader consensus of recent models clusters between $0.74 and $0.88, a step up from the more conservative $0.67–$0.69 range seen earlier in the week. Most services assign medium confidence to their forecasts, reflecting cautious optimism given mixed on-chain and chart signals.

On-chain and chart indicators paint a balanced picture. OP is trading at $0.71, sitting at its 7-day SMA and just beneath the 20-day SMA resistance. The RSI at 48.65 is neutral, offering room for movement either way. Momentum indicators tilt slightly bearish: the MACD histogram reads -0.0065, while Stochastic values (%K 25.26, %D 19.29) suggest the token is nearer oversold conditions and could be poised for corrective bounces if demand returns.

Traders should monitor broader crypto drivers — Bitcoin and Ethereum price action, DeFi flows, and macro liquidity — since layer-2 tokens like Optimism remain sensitive to market-wide sentiment. A decisive daily close above $0.74 would raise the odds of reaching the $0.80–$0.88 targets by September; conversely, failure to hold $0.67 could reopen downside toward $0.61. Risk management remains essential given the mixed technical picture.
