This news may not be enough…
Although the market is bullish, the current FTM position is weak as bears continue to hold on to their remaining momentum.
This should make bulls more aggressive in the short to medium term, after the general market breakout that occurred today and is likely to continue until the end of the week.
However, bulls will have some difficulty consolidating their position in the long term. FTM’s poor performance last month led to a slump in July, prompting some investors and traders to move their money elsewhere.
If the bulls can maintain their stability, FTM could reclaim the $0.6165 level in the medium to long term.
