In the last 24 hours, the Fantom (FTM) price has surged by 13% shooting up all the way to $0.81 with a market cap of $2.26 billion.

Fantom Network Sees Strong Whale Activity

Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez delves into the dynamics of Fantom ($FTM), revealing promising trends within the network. Martinez emphasizes that while the Fantom chart may appear complex, it signifies notable developments.

Specifically, there has been a marked increase in whale transactions, accompanied by a rise in the holdings of major FTM investors. Additionally, there has been a notable reduction in FTM balances held on exchanges.

These network trends are seen as key drivers behind the recent surge in Fantom’s price. Martinez interprets these developments as indicative of a robust and optimistic market sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency.

On March 3, 2024, the transaction volume for Fantom (FTM) in USD reached a significant milestone, totaling $235 million. Analyzing the growth in transaction volume throughout the month, there was a notable increase from $8.3 million on February 6, 2024, to $73 million by March 3, 2024, marking an impressive surge of approximately 780%. Concurrently, Fantom’s price experienced a strong positive correlation, rising from $0.36 to $0.64 during the same period.

However, the transaction volume experienced a downturn from its peak of $73 million on March 3 to $35 million by March 6. Such a rapid decline of over 50% in transaction volume within a short timeframe could indicate a cooling off of activity.

FTM Price Action

The majority of addresses, approximately 83.04% or 2,930, have acquired FTM at prices below the current market price of $0.83. This establishes a robust support zone in the range of $0.73 to $0.75, where a significant number of purchases were made.

Fantom reached a 52-week high today following a 20% price surge. At the time of writing, FTM is priced at $0.81, approaching a critical resistance level of $0.91. If FTM surpasses this resistance, it is likely to initiate a substantial rally toward the $1.1 range.

The recent launch of Fantom Sonic mainnet has increased FTM’s exposure on social media. This upgrade includes enhancements to the Fantom Virtual Machine, promising improved speed and performance execution.
