- Fantom price faced a rejection to fall nearly 30% as a breakout proved premature.
- FTM could drop 25% to provide another buying opportunity around $0.6467 as broader markets dump.
- Invalidation of the bearish thesis would occur upon a break and close above $1.2350.
Fantom (FTM) price was not an exception on Tuesday, dumping alongside the rest of the cryptocurrency market.

Fantom price likely to make a healthy 25% drop
Fantom price is down around 30% after a rejection from the $1.2350 resistance. The bold uptrend was cut short as the breakout proved premature. Amid an ongoing reversal, Fantom price could drop 25% to $0.6467 before the bulls pounce at FTM again.
Multiple technical indicators support the odds for further downside momentum, starting with the nose-diving Relative Strength Index (RSI) that showed falling buyer momentum. The volume indicator is also in the red, a sign of a growing bearish sentiment.
If the $0.6467 support fails to hold, the Fantom price could test the supply zone (turned bullish breaker) that extends from $0.4597 to $0.6081. A break and close below its midline of $0.5346 would confirm the continuation of the downtrend likely slipping below the $0.4000 psychological level.
FTM/USDT 3-day chart
Based on the position of the RSI above 50, coupled with the positive Awesome Oscillator (AO) histograms, FTM bulls still have a play in the market. If this trader cohort buys the correction at rates around $0.8000, the recovery rally could come sooner than expected.
