FARM Technical Setup

FARM’s latest pump cannot take away the fact that it is almost 95% down from its listing price of $5200. Currently, the FARM/USDC pair is changing hands at $206. It has been in an uptrend since June 22, 2021. After bottoming at 30 on May 23, the RSI indicator has also pushed upwards in tandem with soaring prices. But now, the momentum looks unsustainable.

By tapping 80, the RSI wave is now giving off overbought signals. But despite, the bearish indication, the FARM/USDC spot rate has printed multiple green candles above the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA). Selling pressure is negligible. Bulls absorbed all bearish attempts during today’s early morning trading session.

The MACD wave is at the peak of its bullish wave, suggesting that a cool down is due.

Price Levels To Watch

Market conditions are overheated, but bulls look pumped. If the buying pressure rages on, bulls could attempt a retest of the $369.5 resistance at the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level. FARM/USDC spot rates are tightly trading near the 78.6% Fibonacci extension level ($199.3).

A slip in bullish momentum could drag prices down to 61.8% ($164.93) and 50% ($140.79) Fibonacci extension levels. Below the said plausible supports, the asset could head down to the 38.2% Fibonacci extension level ($116.65) but stands to encounter a resurgence in buying pressure.
