FTM’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is thereafter only marked by a growing red histogram. At the start of a new bear cycle, FTM bears regained control of the market, and increased token distribution eventually caused the price to pull back.
The Directional Movement Indicator (DMI) indicates that FTM bears are back. At press time, the negative directional index (red) was above 28.07 and the positive directional index (green) was above 11.80, confirming that sellers were overwhelming buyers at press time.
Realistic or not, this is FTM market cap in BTC terms
Finally, at the time of writing, the coin’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is below its centerline, returning a negative value of -0.12. This indicates increased liquidity in the FTM market, so belief in price reversals must be changed.
