Why GMX seems enticing for investors
GMX has taken massive strides since its launch in September 2021. According to DappRadar’s report on DeFi protocols, GMX attracted considerable attention from traders because of its zero slippage and low cost.
As it aggregates prices from leading volume exchanges instead of using an automated market maker (AMM) like Uniswap[UNI] and Curve Finance [CRV], trading efficiency is maintained while executing market orders.
Another magnetic factor of GMX is the portion of the transaction fee that is allocated to holders of the native token. GMX users receive 30% of the total fees generated on the protocol. This was evident in the vertical rise in revenue for the token holders which followed the rise in fees.
However, the growth in total value locked wasn’t considerable and could be called steady at best.

Good days to come for the native token?
The growth in revenue was reflected in the price of GMX as well. At the time of writing, GMX jumped 5% over the past 24 hours to trade at $66. However, over the last seven days, the price retreated by 6%.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was well above the neutral 50 mark and moved sideways, suggesting that bulls could take over the market again.
The On Balance Volume (OBV) moved in an ascending trajectory signaling capital inflow into the market. Though the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was below the signal line, a bullish crossover seemed likely.
