A slow march toward the bulls…

Data from the intelligence platform Santiment showed that FTM’s network growth (yellow) did witness a rise since the beginning of June. Although at press time, the network growth stood at 184, it did witness a drop from the highs of 394 over the last two days. This wasn’t a great sign for the network.

Furthermore, FTM’s development activity (purple) rested at 0.964. The good news with the development activity was that it witnessed a rise from the lows it saw at the end of June. Another metric that did witness some improvement was FTM’s weighted sentiment (red).

Although at press time FTM’s weighted sentiment stood at -0.852, it was an uphill climb from the -1.46 it saw on 12 June. A rise in the weighted sentiment indicated that the market’s sentiment was turning in favor of the altcoin.
