The market structure has been bullish in the short term for Fantom. The price formed an ascending channel, but the $2-area is likely to pose some resistance to further gains.

Moreover, there is a chance that Bitcoin could see a pullback to $42,000 in the hours to come or the next couple of days. This could see a pullback for Fantom as well.

The ascending channel (orange) has been one that the price has been trading within for a little over a week. The $1.7-area (cyan box) had been a key area over the past couple of weeks. This was because the bears flipped this area to a supply zone. Only over the past week have the bulls been able to establish it as a demand zone.

When the price rose above $1.7 and retested the $1.54-support level, it was the first indication that the short-term market structure had flipped to bullish. The previous lower high at $1.65 was breached. Similarly, after bouncing from the $1.35 support (lower low), the price found support at $1.54 to register a higher low.

Hence, the short-term bias was considered to have flipped to bullish.

In the next couple of days, FTM bulls have to ensure that the price doesn’t drop below $1.8 and the channel lows. Going forward, the $2.05-$2.1 area has to be broken for FTM’s next leg upward.
