FET gains 11% as bulls hold ground, but THIS signals risk

Fetch.ai has gained momentum in the past day, adding 11% to its price. However, liquidity clusters on the chart flag a risk of decline, as large sell orders are piled above the current price, increasing the likelihood of a drop.

Market direction remains uncertain, but AMBCrypto has mapped out a potential path for the asset.

FET sits between major orders
