Do They Have Any More Up Their Sleeves?

At the time that this item was being published, the dynamic line for Fantom’s CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) indicator was positioned at the center line (0.0). This level indicates that there is sufficient bullish momentum on a token’s price. As a result, buyers of FTM could anticipate further price increases. Despite this, investors should continue to exercise extreme caution because fewer Fantom assets are being added to exchanges than are leaving.
