USDC issuer Circle’s “moon landing moment” of its IPO and subsequently soaring stock price do little to change the stability of its flagship stablecoin, S&P Global analysts told Decrypt.

This region includes the point of control from the prior range, high time frame resistance, VWAP resistance, and a golden Fibonacci retracement, all pointing to a likely rejection unless volume surges.
