Unlike for the rest of the cryptocurrency market, February hasn’t been a good month for GMT, the main crypto token that powers STEPN’s popular move-to-earn (M2E) platform. GMT was last changing hands in the $0.38 area, down about 30% this month, despite major cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ether both trading with monthly gains of 1-3% and total crypto market capitalization up around 2.5%.
In fairness, GMT’s 30% decline this month looks less bad when taken in the context of the near-150% rally the cryptocurrency enjoyed in January. That said, bulls shouldn’t get too excited about 2023’s rally – even at its earlier yearly highs above $0.70 per token, GMT was still down over 80% from its 2022 record levels around $4.30.
Since late January, GMT has been forming a bearish flag structure. Some analysts think this could result in a bullish breakout that could open the door to a retest of annual highs – bearish flag patterns often form during a bull market consolidation phase.

But macro headwinds in the form of fresh stronger-than-expected US data in the coming days and weeks could continue to cap upside, if
