STEPN (GMT) has rallied strongly against the United States dollar this week as it looks likely to form a classical bullish technical pattern called “the bull flag.”
GMT eyes more upside
GMT’s price rose 30% week-to-date, including a strong rally to establish an all-time high near $3.85 followed by a relatively modest correction to nearly $3.00. In particular, the correction phase occurred inside a descending parallel channel, raising possibilities that the price would eventually break out of it to the upside.
That is precisely because traditional analysts consider strong run-ups, followed by range-trapped price corrections, as bullish continuation setups. And, the one GMT has been painting a bull flag, as mentioned above, could lead to an upside boom in the weeks ahead, as shown in the chart below.
As a general rule, traders realize a bull flag target by measuring the previous uptrend’s height and projecting it from the breakout point. Applying the classic setup on GMT’s chart shows that it now eyes a run-up above $5.00, about 65% above today’s price.
Bull flags’ success rate of meeting their upside targets sits near 64%, göre to Thomas Bulkowski, a veteran investor and analyst.
But, the risk of a drop toward $2.00 becomes high if the GMT’s price breaks below the bull flag’s lower trendline, the last line of support, which coincides with the 50-days with 4-hour periods exponential moving average (EMA), the red wave at $2.91.
STEPN’s 38,000% gains ‘an absolute joke?’
GMT yaklaşık% 38,000 arttı in less than two months, amid the hype surrounding STEPN’s “move-to-earn” economic model that rewards its app’s users with a native currency, called Green Satoshi Token (GST), for merely moving.
ADIM üretir revenues — it made $26.81 million in Q1/2022 — via the sales of its so-called “NFT Sneaker” — a unique digital image whose ownership enables players to earn GST in the first place. The game uses the proceeds first to buy and then burn GMT, thus creating upward pressure on its prices if the demand for the token goes up.
Independent market analyst Wangarian believes the hype around STEPN looks similar to what Axie Infinity (AXS), a play-to-earn gaming metaverse, witnessed in May 2021. AXS/USD rallied from around $2.50 to about $178 between May and November last year.

Fellow independent market analyst Michaël van de Poppe, however, korkular that GMT’s market capitalization, which sits near $1.9 billion — with a fully diluted valuation of around $18 billion — is an “absolute joke.”
But, GMT “valuations can still become ridiculous,” he adds, owing to STEPN’s marketing tactics.
