Weekly Cryptocurrency Analysis: Altcoins Face Strong Resistance At Recent Highs

The worst-performing cryptocurrencies have come under renewed selling pressure after hitting recent highs.

As a result, altcoins have slipped below moving average lines, accelerating their decline. Others have been stranded between the moving average lines as they attempt to trend.

FTX Token

FTX Token (FTT) is in an uptrend as it recovers from its previous decline. Currently, the altcoin has fallen below the moving average lines. Buyers have not been able to keep the price above the $5.50 mark. The altcoin's slump ended after it fell to a low of $1.44 and then recovered.

The extended candlestick tail points to strong buying at the $1.44 support level. On the upside, the altcoin will resume its positive trend if buyers keep the price above the moving average lines. FTT is now worth $2.14.

According to these characteristics, FTT is the worst altcoin among cryptocurrencies.
