Toncoin (TON) Faces Bearish Pressure Amid Market Consolidation
Toncoin (TON) has had a bearish week of trading, which was characterized by significant price fluctuations.
Currently, TON is trading at $7.23 having been resisted at $8.16 and backed to support level at $6.16. It is now worth mentioning that the coin’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $265,683,144 with a reported decrease of 1.93% in the last 24 hours. This includes price movements in consolidation since mid-June.
Toncoin Consolidated Within a Narrow Range
Toncoin’s price chart on the other hand shows that it has been consolidating since mid-June with prices oscillating between resistance level of $8.16 and support level of $6.16.
This back and forth movement indicates lack of conviction among traders hence bulls or bears can’t establish a definitive trend.
Toncoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 48.88 which means there is neutrality in terms of market position.
The placement of RSI below the 50 line indicates that neither overselling nor overbuying conditions exist thus potential for any directionality in coin prices. However,the recent downtrend in RSI signals an increasing momentum towards bears.
The prices for Toncoin are also influenced by its interaction with different moving averages. The current price exceeds its 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as dynamic support at about USD7.19.
For instance, it remains underneath both its 100-day EMA and 200-day EMA indicating possible resistances and long-term bearish patterns. On the other hand, the retention above the 50-day EMA is needed for TON to be able to sustain any probable upward moves.
Large owners have increased their netflow by more than 31,000%. Despite this, short-term bears who are unwilling to let go of Toncoin may be indicative of the fact that there is some underlying confidence among whales that this coin will eventually recover. This activity could potentially provide a support level and limit further downside.
Bearish Sentiment in Derivatives Market
However, this is different with derivatives market data. The negative funding rate suggests that traders are predominantly bearish expecting the price to fall.
This sentiment in the derivatives market adds downward pressure on Toncoin, making it challenging to break above key resistance levels.
Toncoin’s immediate support is currently located at $7.10, which has been tested several times over the past few days.
On breaking below this mark, Toncoin could again revisit its lows at “$6.16” where prices have been hanging around since mid-June.
Meanwhile, its primary resistance level still remains put at $8.16 as such any successful attempts towards breaching them would then open doors for more gains up to as high as $9 beyond but with an increasing number of skeptics out there it’s less likely happening soon.
