Insta-rally! FLOW token jumps 50% amid Instagram adoption euphoria

After becoming the latest blockchain to provide support for Instagram’s nonfungible tokens (NFT), Flow (FLOW), recorded its best daily performance on August 4.

Insta-made FLOW rally

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, announced that Instagram has expanded its NFT support for 100 additional countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East on Aug. 4. In this way, Instagram users are able to post digital collectibles that were created on the Flow blockchain.

FLOW surged 54% after the high-profile integration, reaching an intraday high at $2.83 per token. It is interesting that the massive upside movement of the token was accompanied by a surge in daily trading volumes, which confirms the bullish trend.

As with any native blockchain asset, FLOW’s demand is tied to its adoption. FLOW is a legal tender in the Flow proof-of-stake environment for the following purposes.

This explains why the token was bullish in its response to Instagram’s adoption.

Not another 30% gain ahead?

FLOW sees a 30% increase in technical value from current levels.

FLOW’s recent price trends appear to have painted a bullish pattern called the “Bump-and-Run-Reversal (BARR) bottom” on its daily chart. The token is now in a breakout stage, with its upside target at the $3.20 level where the BARR bottom formed.

Veteran analyst Tom Bulkowski says that BARR patterns are “surprisingly strong performers” with a 76% chance to meet its profit target. This raises FLOW’s potential for an additional 30% increase to $3.20. Strong fundamentals support this.

FLOW’s bull run on the other hand has pushed its daily relative strengths index (RSI), above 70. This indicates that FLOW is more overbought, and there are increased sell-off risk.
