Fantom (FTM) – Price action and analysis
At press time, FTM was trading at $2.33, up about 1.3% in intraday trading. The coin is also up nearly 73% over the last 7 days. FTM has outperformed the entire market by a mile and is also beating its competitors like Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) which have also posted decent double-digit gains the past week.
Also, FTM has swept past all the crucial 50, 100, and 200 DMAs. In fact, we were expecting some resistance around the 200-day moving average, which is around $2.04, but so far, the price action suggests that FTM is likely going to sustain its recent gains above that threshold.
Should you buy Fantom (FTM)
When you look at total value locked (TVL) in FTM, especially over the last week, it is clear that Fantom (FTM) is on the rise. Yes, it would still need to double its TVL to catch up with Solana (SOL) or Terra (LUNA), but still, the future potential is excellent. FTM is an ideal asset for the long-term investor. I’d, however, wait a few days for the current bullish trend to lose a bit of momentum and see if there are any dips.
