Exchange activity echoed this accumulation trend.
According to CoinGlass, since the 29th of September, when whales started accumulating, the memecoin has recorded negative Spot Netflow.

Typically, when OI and volume rise in tandem, it signals increased participation in Futures, with traders taking either longs or shorts.
Meanwhile, Fartcoin’s Long/Short Ratio fell below one to 0.97, although OKX’s ratio jumped to 2.82. When this metric is below 1, it suggests that investors are mostly taking short positions.
In fact, shorts accounted for 51% while longs accounted for 49% of the total Futures contracts. With shorts dominating, it suggests most participants are bearish and actively betting against the uptrend.

Can Fartcoin hold recent gains?
According to AMBCrypto, Fartcoin rebounded backed by strong and sustained demand from whales.

For now, overbought levels warn of brewing price volatility.
Having said that, if demand from whales holds steady, they could see FARTCOIN reclaim $0.79. In doing so, it will strengthen the memecoin to break out of the falling wedge and target $1.
Conversely, if the momentum fades with sellers jumping in, Fartcoin will drop to $0.64 again, and set for another leg up.
