This transaction represents the whale’s initial investment in the FTM market.

Concurrently, FTM‘s price has experienced a notable rise, increasing by 8% from a recent low of $0.76. This upward trend reflects growing investor confidence and signals Fantom’s strengthening market position.

Furthermore, the investor still has 735,744 USDC available, suggesting potential further investments.

FTM Price Analysis 

Fantom initiated a new bull cycle after bottoming out at $0.17 on October 18, 2023. Subsequently, it reached its yearly high of $1.20 on March 22. This peak was followed by a significant 55% drop to $0.56 on April 13.

The pattern of Fantom’s price movements included a three-wave corrective phase after a five-wave uptrend, validating the notion that the price was in a correction. This was confirmed by a 38% recovery to nearly $0.80 by April 21.

The breakout above the descending trendline further verified the onset of an uptrend. On May 20, the price reached a new high of nearly $1, surpassing the April 22 high. Its following downtrend was stopped at the April 22 high, making a sharp upturn and suggesting a possibility FTM is in a five-wave pattern. 

Should the rise continue to another higher high, we would see a five-wave move and receive confirmation that FTM is starting a new bull phase that could lead to a new yearly high above $1.50. 

However, if the price reverses below May’s high, FTM could face more downside potential, with $0.50 zone being its next likely target.
