After hitting $0.71 two days ago, Fartcoin [FARTCOIN] has experienced strong downward pressure to reach a low of $0.48.

While it has made a considerable recovery from this low, the memecoin is facing strong downward pressure.

In fact, as of this writing, Fartcoin was trading at $0.52. This marked a 5.42% decline on daily charts, extending to this bearish outlook by 49.23% on monthly charts.

With the memecoin struggling, to keep an uptrend, it’s essential to determine why it’s so.

Is Fartcoin overwhelmed by selling pressure?

According to AMBCrypto’s analysis, Fartcoin was struggling as investors, especially large holders turned to selling.

This selling pressure is highly concentrated among whales. As per Lookonchain data, one whale has turned to a selling spree. This whale sold all its holdings of 4.09 million Fartcoin tokens for $2.26 million losing $2.21 million.

When a whale turns to sell at a loss, it suggests a lack of market confidence. As such, they see the prevailing market conditions are unlikely to push the asset back to profitability reflecting growing bearish sentiments.

We can further see this higher selling pressure as spot netflow has surged to $125.7k.

When netflow turns positive, it implies that exchange inflow outweighs outflows, implying that more holders are selling.

If prevailing conditions continue, Fartcoin could decline to $0.46. If a reversal appears, the memecoin could reclaim $0.60.
