STEPN uses its profits to first buy back the governance token GMT on secondary markets and then burn it on-chain. The project aims to remove a total of 600 million GMTs from circulation.
Technical over-bullish signal
GMT’s recent price rally has caused the token to rise too high relative to the four-hour relative strength index (RSI). RSI above 70 points gives a sell signal.
GMT/USD is currently testing the old record $3.14 as intermediate support. If the pair breaks below this level, the probability of a return to the 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA; red wave), i.e. $2.52, which is about 20% below the current rate, will increase.
