Since mid-July, FTM’s price plummeted, with sellers dominating the price action. The altcoin’s price suffered heavy losses due to multiple hacks on Fantom’s projects and ecosystem.
Earlier, the bullish attempt at a reversal failed at the $0.2 resistance level in early October. This resulted in FTM hitting the year-low of $0.17. However, the recent bullish market conditions provided a springboard for buyers to go on a significant rally.
The buying strength of the current rally was highlighted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbing into the overbought zone. Similarly, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) revealed strong capital inflows with a reading of +0.18.
Thus, buyers could achieve another 10% price gains, which would take it to the $0.25 resistance level. A flip of the $0.25 resistance to support would see FTM’s market structure turn bullish.
Sellers on the other hand can wait for a rejection at the $0.25 resistance for shorting opportunities.
