On August 7, Fantom reminded users of a governance proposal approved on January 5, 2023. This program reduces Fantom’s burn rate from 20% to 5%, with the 15% reduction moving to Gas Monetization.

The monetization program seeks to reward high-quality dApps and retain talented creators while supporting Fantom’s network infrastructure.

Fantom Price Analysis

The daily chart analysis of FTM/USD shows it moved into a sideways trend from August 3. It encountered resistance at the $0.2489 price level as the bears pushed it down to retest the $0.2318 support level.

FTM is under bearish pressure on the daily chart; a drop below the $0.2318 support level will lead to a further decline for the asset.

It is trading below the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), expressing a bearish sentiment for the coming days.

Despite the bearish outlook, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving sideways with a value of 41.42 in the neutral zone. Its direction hints at a possible break to the upside for the asset if the bulls rally again.

The Moving Average Convergence/ Divergence (MACD) also confirms the return of the bulls meaning more buyers are entering long positions in the market.

The MACD is slightly above its signal line, expressing a weak buy signal confirmed by the Histogram bars on the green.

If the bulls rally again, FTM will likely decline to the $0.2318 support in the coming days before a price recovery.

Is WSM an FTM Alternative That Could Reward Investors

Wall Street Memes (WSM) is a meme coin with over 1 million community members interacting with unlimited memes. It embodies the spirit of determination and good work ethics necessary to overcome the effects of capitalism with a fun side to its activities.

WSM is the token powering this crypto movement and is on presale, with each token worth $0.0331. However, the price will increase to $0.0334 in less than three days.

The presales are among the most successful in 2023, raising over $22.84 million out of its goal of $23.97 million as investors scramble to accumulate the tokens early.

Users can purchase these tokens by connecting their secure crypto wallet and completing the purchase with ETH, USDT, or bank cards. Wall Street Meme is powering the next crypto revolution and, according to the roadmap, will transcend beyond just memes to produce merchandise.

Early investors will benefit from a potential price surge when it lists on exchanges.
