Fantom (FTM) has been soaring 17% over the past week, on a quite decent trend, with strong support recorded in the area of $0.47-$0.48, data from IntoTheBlock indicates. This suggests that the price jump may be connected to increased demand and growing network interest.

Rising Total Value Locked by $2 billion is driving expansion of the DeFi ecosystem. Will FTM, however, be able to overcome crucial resistance? Let’s dig deeper into numbers. Fantom IOMAP chart. Source: IntoTheBlock DApp Volumes Triple Overnight The Fantom ecosystem is also performing well and more so in the dApp space. According to the report by DappRadar, volumes rose from $3.4 million to $9 million within just 24 hours, showing how relevant the network was in decentralized applications. DeFi activity on Fantom has also increased much as data from DeFiLlama indicate that TVL of the network stands at $77 billion. This boom attracts not only traders but also developers and makes Fantom a strong player in the DeFi area. While these developments are promising, the actual test would be if FTM can break through its long-standing resistance level. FTM Hits Major Resistance FTM had been retesting a resistance point of $0.52 for weeks, and, with multiple pushes to break through, it has failed on many occasions, causing each failure to result in a bearish reversal, although there are signs that FTM might finally break this trend. FTM’s CMF has also flipped positive, indicating strong buying pressure. OBV is rising accompanied by an increase in trading volume. Confirmation of the trend will be coming if OBV breaks above its “smoothing line.” Breaching $0.52 will open the way for further rally to the 1.618 level at $0.63. 13.
