• If the bulls couldn’t sustain the price above the $1.85 mark, the FTM price would sink to $1.5 or $1.25. Conversely, if the coin price experiences strong demand from the bottom support, it would hint the buyers are interested in this dip, maintaining a reversal opportunity in the upcoming sessions.
• The FTM price trading above the 200 SMA line indicates the coin sustains its bullish trend. On the other hand, the other SMA lines(20, 50, 100) roaming above the coin price can offer strong resistance during a bullish reversal. 
• The moving average convergence/divergence indicator shows the MACD and signal have plunged into bearish territory. However, the faded red bars in the histogram chart show a slight weakness in the selling momentum.
