The price of SafeMoon has increased by more than 25% in the past week amid the volatility of the broader market. This double-digit increase was driven by increased demand for the token after the project migrated from the BNB Chain to Solana.
However, profit-taking and increasing selling pressure are currently threatening to erase some of SFM's recent gains. This analysis provides details.
SafeMoon faces increasing selling pressure
An assessment of the SFM/USD chart over a day shows increasing selling pressure in the SFM spot market. A notable indicator of this trend is the token's negative Balance of Power (BoP) indicator, currently at -0.96 at the time of writing.

When its value is negative like this, it indicates that sellers have more control, meaning selling pressure is stronger, and the asset may be experiencing a downtrend.
This suggests that the buying momentum of SFM investors is weakening and implies a potential decline if the selling pressure continues.
Furthermore, SFM's price has declined by 8% in the past 24 hours, causing this altcoin to trade near its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
This moving average measures the average price of an asset over the past 20 trading days, with a greater emphasis on more recent prices to determine short-term trends.

SFM finds crucial support at $0.000061
A successful breakdown of the dynamic support provided by SafeMoon's 20-day EMA at $0.000061 would reinforce the downtrend. In this scenario, the altcoin's price could decline further to $0.000047.
