The FTM/USDT chart demonstrates a strong bullish structure following a breakout from a prolonged accumulation phase, trading at $1.0499 USD. 
 The recent upward movement shows a clean break of structure (BOS) and a test of the equilibrium zone, suggesting further bullish momentum, though the price is approaching a critical resistance area in the premium zone. 
Key Technical Levels: 
Resistance Zones: 
<ul> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">$1.15 – $1.30 USD (Premium Zone): This zone represents significant resistance, as it aligns with previous highs and sell-side liquidity. A breakout above this level could open the door to testing higher levels, possibly $1.50 USD.</li>

</ul> 
Support Zones: 
<ul> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">$0.90 USD (Equilibrium Zone): This key support area aligns with the mid-point of the recent bullish range. Holding above this level is crucial for maintaining the current bullish structure.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">$0.60 – $0.70 USD (Discount Zone): A strong demand zone where previous accumulation occurred. If the price retraces sharply, this zone could act as a base for another rally.</li>
