Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), the Fast-Growing Solana Meme Coin, Continued Its Strong Rally This Week, as Whales Accumulated

Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) price rose to a high of $1.2770 on Thursday, its highest level since January 26, and continued its strong rally this week as large whales accumulated the coin.

The Solana meme coin has become one of the best performers this year, surging more than 500% from its March lows.

According to crypto analytics firm Nansen, large whales, or crypto wallets holding $1 million or more, have been accumulating Fartcoin in huge sums over the past few days.

In the last 24 hours alone, whales acquired FARTCOIN tokens to the tune of several million dollars, with six individual purchases exceeding $1 million during this period, as highlighted in the chart below.

The surge in Fartcoin’s price also coincided with a sharp spike in futures open interest, which reached a record high of $612 million on Thursday, compared to less than $100 million in March. This indicates a strong increment in demand and participation in the derivatives market.

Moreover, Fartcoin’s eight-hour funding rate has remained positive since April 18. A positive funding rate is typically viewed as bullish, as it signifies that more traders are holding long positions, leading to a higher demand for longs compared to shorts.

"If the funding rate is positive, it means that more traders are opening and holding long positions, which can sustain the current price trend and potentially drive further upward momentum," the analyst explained.

"Conversely, a negative funding rate indicates that more traders are closing their long positions or opening short positions, which can exert downward pressure on the price."

According to the eight-hour chart, Fartcoin bottomed at $0.2140 in March and has since rallied to $1.2768 amid increasing demand. The coin is now trading above the 50-period moving average, which supports a bullish outlook in the short term.

However, the chart is also showing signs of a potential trend reversal ahead. Fartcoin is showing signs of a "rising wedge" pattern, highlighted in blue in the chart above. This pattern is formed by two converging trendlines and is known to occur ahead of a breakdown.

Moreover, the Average Directional Index (ADX) is moving sideways, which indicates that the strength of the trend is decreasing. The ADX is one of the most widely used indicators for measuring the strength of a trend.

Furthermore, the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO), a unique variant of the MACD, is showing a bearish divergence pattern.

These technicals suggest that Fartcoin could see a bearish reversal in May from the psychological point of $1.
