Disclaimer: The findings of the following analysis are the sole opinions of the writer and should not be considered investment advice.
Over the past week, the trend for Fantom, which had been strongly bullish, shifted to a bearish bias as it fell from $2.4 to $1.81.
The winds now appear to have changed once again, this time in favor of the bulls. For traders or investors with a very short time horizon, Fantom has climbed above an interesting resistance level. This may offer an interesting buying opportunity.

Consider the market structure of the past week as well – A steady downtrend and the most recent lower high was made a couple of days ago at the $1.99-mark. This was the level the bulls had to close a session above to indicate a shift in momentum back in favor of the buyers.
