Notably, the pattern predicts a drop equal to the maximal triangle height, which targets the FTM price at nearly zero, a 90% decline for the token.

As of May 24, the Fantom token arrived at a crucial support/resistance level, relevant since May 2022. However, the falling trading volumes and the negative MACD sentiment back the bearish prognosys, along with the on-chain metrics.

Will Uniswap migrate to Fantom?

One of Columbia University’s tech units dedicated to blockchain, dubbed “Blockchain@Columbia,” put forth a proposal to deploy Uniswap, one of the largest decentralized exchanges, onto the Fantom blockchain.

Notably, the proposition came after Uniswap’s Business Source Licence (BSL) expired on April 1, transitioning the project to General Public License. Meanwhile, the expiration also gave the developers the freedom to fork Uniswap V3.

With the expiry of the Uniswap v3 BSL, other DEXs including Beethoven X, are eyeing the opportunity to seize market share on the Fantom chain. In order to stay ahead of the competition, Uniswap must establish its presence on Fantom quickly and efficiently.

Experts at Columbia emphasized the utility of Fantom’s framework and consensus, which gives way to faster transactions. Axelar, a cross-chain bridge platform that connects multiple blockchain networks, will act as the bridge infrastructure provider.
