Hip Hop legend Snoop Dogg released a nearly 1 million non-fungible token (NFT) collection on Telegram, which sold out in minutes. The launch created massive interest online and raised over $10 million in sales. Related Reading: Bitcoin Back In ‘Retesting Phase’ After Key Level Reclaim – The Calm Before The Storm? Snoop Dogg’s Telegram Drop Raises $12 Million On Wednesday, Snoop Dogg launched digital collectibles on Telegram, igniting an NFT frenzy on the platform. The collection offered unique NFTs inspired by the rapper’s style, including multiple marijuana-themed collectibles, anthropomorphic beagles, and vintage cars. The drop is part of Telegram’s Collectible Gifts, unique works of art on the platform that can be displayed on profiles and have special attributes. As the website explains, the collectibles can be transferred between users or auctioned on NFT marketplaces. Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, revealed that the Snoop Dogg drop sold out in 30 minutes, selling 996,000 NFTs for $12 million, adding that “Blockchain minting and the secondary market go live in 21 days. It’s going to be wild.” Last week, Durov shared that the 4th of July-themed Gifts also sold out within minutes, with over 800,000 collectibles selling in 10 minutes. Amid the collectibles’ launch, the rapper promoted it alongside a new track titled “Gifts” on his official Telegram Channel. He shared the link to the song’s music video and tagged Durov’s Telegram channel, saying, “time to drop it like it’s hot.” In the track, Snoop Dogg shouts out Toncoin (TON), the native token of the TON Blockchain, and Telegram. “Plug in my phone, get dressed, and then I plot my play / Critical existence, digital resistance / Shifted, gifted, and lifted / (…) / Stickers and games on Telegram, guess it’s coming soon / My privacy is not for sale,” some of the lyrics read. Notably, this isn’t the rapper’s first NFT venture, as he entered the space when the sector first gained mainstream popularity in 2021 and dropped collections in 2022 and 2023. NFT Mania Making A Comeback? On X, NFT lead at the TON blockchain, Zenith highlighted the drop’s success, as some of the supply gifts sold out in less than 2 minutes. He explained that Telegram gifts have had a peak market capitalization of over $200 million and a trading volume of $122 million since their launch. According to the post, the first OG collection, the Plush Pepe, now has a floor price of 4,200 TON, worth $11,886. “They are NFT Collectibles that are on the TON Blockchain and inside of Telegram!” he noted. To Zenith, this could be the start of a new NFT narrative, adding that they “would not be surprised if other famous brands or web3 IPs would want to launch some gifts too!” However, they pointed out that it could also mean nothing for the sector. In a recent report, DappRadar shared that Q2 data revealed new narratives are emerging, while old ones are “making a comeback.” The report claims that “NFTs are becoming more affordable, but the interest hasn’t disappeared. On the contrary, it’s shifting in nature,” a trend the platform’s analysts have been observing “for a while.” Related Reading: Solana Ready For $160 Reclaim? Analysts Say Breakout Is A Matter Of Time Notably, NFT trading volume dropped by 45% in Q2, but sales increased by 78%. Meanwhile, the number of traders increased 20% from Q1, with an average of 668,598 monthly traders. “Taken together with the spike in sales, this suggests a slow but steady return of users to the NFT space, although likely for different motivations than in previous cycles,” the report concluded.

Toncoin jumped 12% over the weekend, after TON foundation made the Golden Visa announcement.
In a recent post on X, Michael Steinbach highlighted that Toncoin’s current price is at $2.80, which he considers one of the most exciting levels of the year. With momentum building, Steinbach noted that traders everywhere are now asking the same question: Is a breakout finally underway, or is a sharp sell-off just around the corner? Toncoin Locked In A Narrow Range Between $2.70 And $2.80 Analyzing the daily chart, Michael Steinbach points out that Toncoin has been locked in a tight range between $2.70 as support and $2.80 as resistance for several weeks now. He warns that jumping into the market without a clear plan is a recipe for losses, especially when others are already navigating these well-defined zones with precision. Related Reading: Toncoin Heading Toward 40% Breakout, Pattern Could Suggest He highlights the RSI sitting at 39, a relatively weak position. While it’s not yet in oversold territory, Steinbach notes that buyers may be holding off for deeper levels. Back in April, a strong rebound occurred from below 30, making the 30–32 zone a critical area to watch for potential bullish reactions. In terms of risk, Steinbach warns that a break below the $2.70 support could hand control over to the bears. If that level fails, the next downside targets to watch are $2.50 and, in a worst-case scenario, $2.00. He reminds traders that repeated tests of a support zone tend to weaken it over time, and when it finally cracks, the fallout can come fast. Whether watching for a breakout or a breakdown, having a plan is essential. Reacting after the crowd moves rarely pays off; it’s the calm, pre-planned decisions that give traders the edge when volatility strikes. Breakout Or Pullback? Define The Setup Before Entering In outlining the bullish scenario, the analyst noted that if Toncoin manages to secure a daily close above the $2.80 resistance, momentum could quickly follow through. This breakout could open the path toward $3.00, with an extended target near $3.40, representing a potential 26% gain from current levels. That’s the kind of upside savvy traders prepare for. Related Reading: Toncoin Rises 13% On Telegram’s $300 Million Deal With Elon Musk’s xAI So, what’s the key takeaway? According to the analyst, successful trading doesn’t rely on gut feeling; it requires well-defined triggers. That means either entering on a confirmed breakout above $2.80 with a stop-loss just below, or stepping back and waiting for a pullback that aligns with RSI signals. The focus should always be on minimizing risk while allowing profits room to grow. As for now, the analyst sees the trend as sideways to slightly bearish. Until the chart sends a crystal-clear signal, the best approach is patience — no FOMO trades, no blind bets, just disciplined setups. Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview.com

Toncoin (TON) has been quietly building strength, defending the $2.80–$2.95 support zone with remarkable consistency. After weeks of consolidation, the recent break above a falling trendline has caught traders’ attention, hinting at a possible shift in momentum. As TON coils just above this key structure, the stage may be set for a breakout — one that could ignite fresh upside if bullish pressure continues to build. Buyers Defend Key Levels On The Chart In a recent post on X, Alts King pointed out that TON is showing notable strength as it continues to hold above the $2.80–$2.95 support zone. This range has acted as a reliable floor for several weeks, with buyers consistently stepping in to defend it. Related Reading: TON Bullish Pattern Signals Breakout Ahead — 40% Rally Loading? Furthermore, Alts King further observed that a falling trendline, which has long constrained TON’s price action, has now been broken. This technical breakout could mark the early stages of a trend reversal, opening the door for a more sustained bullish move. Looking forward, Alts King believes that if the support zone continues to hold firm, TON may be setting up for a potential rally toward the $6.87 level. To validate this bullish thesis, Alts King recommends watching for the formation of higher highs and higher lows on shorter timeframes. These structural patterns are key indicators of healthy upward movement and would confirm growing confidence among market participants as TON tries to shift out of its consolidation phase. Resistance Zones That May Test TON Momentum To $6.87 As TON begins to show signs of renewed strength, its path toward the $6.87 target isn’t without resistance. One of the first major hurdles lies around $3.04, a support level turned into resistance during the last sell-off. Price action near this range has already shown hesitation in the past, making it a critical level for bulls to reclaim convincingly. Related Reading: Toncoin Open Interest Spikes 33%—Will History Repeat With A Pullback? Above that, the $4.54 level could serve as the next challenge. This zone aligns with prior swing highs and consolidations seen on the daily chart, where TON was previously rejected before resuming downward movement. Breaking through this level would require strong volume and confirmation, especially as traders may look to take profits from lower entries near the $2.80 support base. Finally, before TON can reach the anticipated $6.87 resistance, it must clear the psychological barrier around $6.00, which also coincides with a rounded top structure observed during a prior rally. This level may attract selling pressure from short-term traders aiming to lock in gains. However, only with sustained bullish momentum and the formation of higher highs can TON overcome these layers of resistance and build a real case for a breakout beyond $6.87.

An analyst has pointed out how Toncoin (TON) is currently trading inside a Triangle pattern that could potentially set the stage up for a 40% move. Toncoin Has Been Stuck Inside A Triangle On The Daily Timeframe In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a pattern that Toncoin has recently been moving inside. The pattern in question is a Triangle from technical analysis (TA), which forms when an asset’s price observes consolidation between two converging trendlines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Defies Bears: Price Nears $108,000 Despite $250M Exchange Inflows The upper line of the pattern is likely to be a source of resistance in the future, while the lower one is that of support. A breakout of either of these lines can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. There are a few different types of Triangles in TA. Three popular ones include the Ascending, Descending, and Symmetrical variations. The orientation of the trendlines relative to each other defines which type a particular triangular channel falls under. In an Ascending Triangle, the upper trendline is parallel to the time-axis. This means that as the price travels inside the pattern, its consolidation shrinks toward a net upside. The Descending Triangle involves just the opposite case; the upper line is sloped downward while the lower one is flat. The third variation, the Symmetrical Triangle, has its trendlines at a roughly equal and opposite slope. In this pattern, the price’s range tightens to a point in a sideways manner. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Triangle pattern that Toncoin has seemingly been trapped within during the past few months: From the graph, it’s visible that the Triangle that the 1-day price of Toncoin has been following looks similar to a Symmetrical Triangle, but it’s not a perfect one; there is a slight bias to the downside. The cryptocurrency most recently found support at the lower line and has since climbed toward the midway point between the trendlines. The coin’s price is now not too far from the apex of the pattern. Generally, breakouts become more likely as consolidation becomes tighter, so it’s possible that TON may be approaching one. According to the analyst, a breakout, if it happens, could potentially end up leading to a 40% move for Toncoin. Related Reading: Bitcoin & Ethereum Diverge—ETF Flows Just Flipped The Narrative As for which direction a breakout might take the asset in, Symmetrical Triangles usually have both sides at equal probability. Since the Triangle in the current case is slightly angled down, however, an exit below the lower line may be a bit more likely. It now remains to be seen how Toncoin’s price will develop in the coming days and if the pattern will play any role. TON Price At the time of writing, Toncoin is trading around $3.3, up over 2% in the last seven days. Featured image from Shutterstock.com, charts from TradingView.com
Popular mobile game Flappy Bird is once more taking flight in Web3 after closing down its Telegram game and launching on Android.
Toncoin (TON), the native token of The Open Network (TON), has climbed over 5% in the past 24 hours, signaling renewed market demand. This rebound comes on the heels of a broader market downturn that saw TON decline alongside other major cryptocurrencies late last week. Amidst these small-scale movements, crypto analyst Ali Martinez notes the altcoin appears to be preparing for a major price breakout. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Trend Above $100,000: The Good News And The Bad News Toncoin Charts 40% Move As Triangle Hints At Breakout In an X post on May 31, Ali Martinez shares an insightful take on the TON market. Using the 4-hour trading chart, the expert analyst highlights that TON’s price movement over the past four months has created a symmetrical triangle pattern hinting at the strong potential of a major price breakout. The symmetrical triangle is a neutral chart pattern that reflects price compression due to the formation of higher lows and lower highs. Inherently, this chart pattern suggests neither the buyers or sellers are in affirmative control of the market, indicating there is much potential for a 40% price swing on either side. Currently, Toncoin trades around $3.16 following the recent price bounce. If market bulls force a breakout from the upper boundary around $3.28, the altcoin is expected to trade as high as $4.55-$4.65. Meanwhile, a breakdown at the lower boundary around $3.10 could result in a market price between $1.80-$1.90. Interestingly, TON’s relative strength index currently sits at 49.37 facing the upward direction which also suggests a neutral market while noting that bullish momentum is starting to build. A cross over 50 would provide bulls confirmation as TON makes its way to the overbought zone. Related Reading: Tron (TRX) Future Retail Activity Indicates More Gains Ahead – Analyst TON Market Overview As earlier stated, TON continues to trade at $3.16 reflecting market gains of 5.12% and 4.62% in the past one and seven days, respectively. Telegram LLC which served as initial developers of TON and offers a deep integration with the cryptocurrency project has registered a series of positive developments contributing to these recent price leaps. Most notably, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the platform’s partnership with xAI which would grant users in-app access to Grok, the prominent generative AI model. As part of this one year partnership, Telegram is to receive $300 million in cash and equity investment as well as earn 50% of all xAI revenue generated via the messaging platform. With a market cap of $7.79 billion, Toncoin ranks as the ninth largest cryptocurrency in the world despite a year-on-year loss of 49.98%. Featured image from Pintu Academy, chart from Tradingview
Data shows the Toncoin (TON) Open Interest has registered a spike in the past day. Here’s what could happen next, according to historical trends. Toncoin Open Interest Has Hit Its Highest Since February In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Open Interest for Toncoin. The “Open Interest” here refers to a metric that keeps track of the total amount of perpetual futures positions related to TON (in USD) that are currently open on all derivatives platforms. When the value of this metric rises, it means the investors are opening up more positions related to the asset on the market. Generally, the total leverage in the sector goes up when new positions appear, so this kind of trend can lead to higher volatility for the cryptocurrency’s price. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Trapped Inside Triangle: 17% Move Incoming? On the other hand, the indicator going down suggests that investors are closing their own positions voluntarily or being forcibly liquidated by their exchange. Either way, the asset can behave in a more stable manner following such a trend due to the drop in leverage. Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the Toncoin Open Interest over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Toncoin Open Interest has just seen a very sharp spike, a sign that traders have opened up a large number of futures positions. More specifically, the metric’s value has gone up from $143 million to $190 million over the last 24 hours. From the chart, it’s visible that this quick 33% jump initially came as the coin’s price witnessed a rapid increase, but interestingly, it maintained its upward trajectory even as the asset saw a pullback. “Past spikes like this have often preceded corrections – worth watching closely,” notes Glassnode. The last time the Toncoin Open Interest formed this pattern was at the end of March/start of April. What followed back then was a price drawdown of about 32%. Related Reading: Ethereum May Be One Dip Away From Mass Losses—Data Warns TON isn’t the only digital asset that has seen an uptick in speculation recently. As the analytics firm has pointed out in its latest weekly report, Bitcoin has also been observing a major rise in its Open Interest. As is visible in the chart, the Bitcoin Open Interest fell to a low of $36.8 billion in April as the cryptocurrency’s price itself went down. Since then, however, the indicator has shot up by 51% alongside the bull rally, reaching the $55.6 billion mark. The report explains that this suggests “a build up of leverage is underway.” TON Price At the time of writing, Toncoin is trading around $3.34, up more than 11% in the last 24 hours.

Toncoin (TON) is starting to make waves again, showing signs of renewed strength after successfully breaking out of a long-standing descending channel on the daily chart. This breakout marks a pivotal moment for the token, potentially signaling the end of the recent downtrend and hinting at the early stages of a fresh uptrend. As the crypto market shows signs of renewed vigor, Toncoin appears to be positioning itself as one of the standout performers of this emerging cycle. Whether this breakout marks the beginning of a sustained uptrend or faces temporary headwinds will depend on both technical follow-through and broader market sentiment. A Potential Uptrend In The Making According to Profit Demon in a recent post on X, Toncoin is demonstrating significant strength by staying above the descending channel on its daily chart. This technical formation is crucial as it signals a shift in market dynamics after a period of weakness and decline. Related Reading: Toncoin Takes A Hit With 12% Correction After Failing To Break $4.34, More Pain? Profit Demon noted that TON had previously faced a sharp correction. However, the latest price action indicates a recovery, with Toncoin finding solid support at a key level. This level now serves as a critical foundation, offering the potential for a new upward move. He further emphasized that if the bullish momentum continues to grow, TON could target several key resistance levels. With the current market sentiment favoring a recovery, Toncoin’s price may rise toward the $4.10 level. A successful breakout above this mark would solidify the bullish trend, propelling it to the $4.90 and $5.60 marks. Can Toncoin Sustain Current Trends and Trigger A Rally? For TON to sustain its rally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) plays a key role. The RSI should stay within the optimal range of 40 to 70, avoiding overbought conditions above 70. If the RSI remains above 50 and outside overbought territory, Toncoin will have room for further appreciation. A breakout above key resistance levels while keeping the RSI in this range would strengthen the bullish case. Related Reading: Is Toncoin Set for a Comeback? Key Market Signals Point to a Possible Rebound The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is another critical indicator to monitor. Currently, the MACD has shown signs of bullish divergence, suggesting that momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls. For the rally to continue, the MACD line should remain above the signal line, confirming that buying pressure outweighs selling pressure. Lastly, volume analysis is essential in confirming the strength of the price movement. A rally supported by increasing volume signals that the trend is backed by real demand and a temporary spike. To sustain an upward movement, trading volume must rise as TON breaks through resistance levels. Higher volume indicates genuine interest from traders, which strengthens the trend, while lower volume may suggest a lack of conviction, limiting the rally’s longevity.

Toncoin rally has hit a roadblock, with the price slipping 12% after failing to breach the key $4.34 resistance level. The strong upward momentum that previously fueled TON’s gains lost steam as sellers aggressively defended this price zone, triggering a wave of profit-taking and increased bearish pressure. With momentum cooling off, market participants are now watching key support levels to see if bulls can regain control. A decisive hold above crucial zones could set the stage for another breakout attempt, while continued weakness might expose Toncoin to further downside. 12% Correction: Understanding The Price Drop Toncoin’s recent 12% correction following its failure to break through the $4.34 resistance level has raised concerns among traders and investors. To understand this price drop, it’s essential to examine the factors at play. A correction of this magnitude typically reflects a shift in market sentiment, often driven by profit-taking, a rejection at key resistance levels, or an overall weakening of bullish momentum. Related Reading: Toncoin (TON) Investors Sitting On 54% Profit Despite Price Plunge After a failed breakout attempt at $4.34, the market faced a pullback, where the price retreated as sellers gained control. This is a natural response in the market when an asset struggles to sustain momentum after reaching a significant barrier. The 12% drop suggests that some traders may have begun to lock in profits after the recent rally, while others opted to exit positions as the price failed to move higher. Additionally, broader market conditions and technical indicators have likely contributed to Toncoin’s recent 12% correction. In tandem with this, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has shifted into a bearish crossover. The MACD’s bearish signal, coupled with the fading market sentiment, suggests that bullish pressure is weakening, which likely fueled the selling activity. Such a correction is not unusual in volatile markets like cryptocurrency and is often viewed as a natural market reset. However, it signals a loss of immediate bullish momentum, with the price now testing the $2.36 support level. This level should be closely monitored as it will determine whether Toncoin can stabilize or if a further downside is likely. What’s Next For Toncoin? Potential Scenarios Post-Correction After Toncoin’s 12% correction, the key question is what lies ahead for the cryptocurrency. The price has faced a strong rejection at the $4.34 resistance level, and now, as it approaches critical support levels, several scenarios could unfold. Related Reading: Key Metrics Indicate Toncoin Accumulation Continues Despite Price Struggle If Toncoin holds its ground before or at the $2.36 support level, it could signal a potential rebound, with the price stabilizing and setting up for another push toward the $4.34 resistance. On the other hand, if the $2.36 support fails to hold, Toncoin could face a further downside, resulting in the creation of new lows. In this scenario, the market sentiment would need to shift, and Toncoin would have to demonstrate resilience to regain upward momentum. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Toncoin (TON) has been steadily climbing since facing a rebound at $2.36, reinforcing a bullish outlook and reflecting increasing investor confidence. Unlike volatile price swings seen in other assets, TON’s consistent rise signals strong underlying demand and market stability. The cryptocurrency has successfully held key support levels, preventing major pullbacks and allowing buyers to take control of the trend. With momentum building, market participants are closely monitoring resistance levels that could determine the next phase of TON’s price action. Should buying pressure continue to increase, the cryptocurrency could be poised for further gains, potentially testing higher resistance zones. Can Toncoin Sustain Its Renewed Upswing? Toncoin recent price resurgence has strengthened bullish sentiment, but the sustainability of this uptrend remains a critical focus. The cryptocurrency has managed to establish solid footing above the $2.36 key support level. However, maintaining this momentum will depend on several technical and market factors. Related Reading: TON Price Jumps 20% Following Positive News On Telegram Founder The cryptocurrency is currently maintaining its upward momentum as it approaches the $4.34 resistance level and the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). This steady climb indicates growing bullish strength, with buyers continuing to push the price higher despite potential resistance. A decisive breakout above the $4.34 resistance level could strengthen the ongoing uptrend, setting the stage for Toncoin toward the $6.13 resistance mark. If buying momentum remains strong and the price clears this key level, it could open the door for a potential test of its all-time high of $7.29. Technical indicators such as the MACD suggest that momentum remains in favor of the bulls, but increasing resistance pressure might lead to volatility. Sustained buying pressure will confirm the uptrend and push the price beyond these critical technical barriers. Volume analysis further reinforces Toncoin’s upward momentum, with trading volume increasing by over 10%, indicating strong market participation. Should volume continue to rise alongside price movement, it could validate the strength of the uptrend and enhance the likelihood of further gains. Potential Downside Risk If Toncoin faces rejection at a key resistance level, monitoring critical support zones will be essential to assess the strength of its uptrend. The first major support level to watch is around $2.36, where buyers previously showed interest. A dip to this level is likely to attract fresh demand and stabilize the price. Related Reading: Toncoin Gears Up For A Fresh Rally With Bullish Momentum Building A breakdown below this level could indicate a shift in momentum, accelerating selling pressure and leading to a deeper decline.

The TON price has reclaimed the $3 mark with an over 20% spurt on Saturday, March 15. This price spike was triggered by the news of a French court approving the departure of Telegram founder Pavel Durov from France. Telegram Founder Reportedly Cleared To Leave France According to a report on Saturday, Durov was granted permission by a French court to depart the country, where he faces several charges of enabling organized crime. One of AFP’s sources said that the Telegram founder had been authorized to leave France for “several weeks.” Durov’s legal troubles began on August 24, 2024, after he was detained at the Le Bourget airport in Paris. A few days later, France’s Prosecutor’s Office brought several charges against the Telegram founder centered around running a messaging platform that allegedly enabled illegal activities. Related Reading: Stablecoins Supply Up By $20 Billion – The Key To Bitcoin’s Next Move? On August 28, Durov was released on a $6 million bail, albeit with restrictions on his movement and travels. The French prosecutors demanded that the Telegram founder remain in the country until the conclusion of their investigation. While the current condition of Durov’s case remains unclear, a source close to the case stated the Telegram founder was allowed to leave France temporarily after the investigating judge approved his request to modify the conditions of his supervision. “A third source said Durov had departed for Dubai,” AFP reported. Durov’s arrest led to an uproar within the crypto community at the time, as experts assessed the implications of such a move on the future of technology and encryption. Moreover, it marked another incident in the worrying trend of holding founders and developers accountable for the use of their platforms. It is worth mentioning that, as of press time, there has been no official word from Telegram and Durov confirming the report. TON Price Up 20% Following the report of Durov’s departure from France, TON (native cryptocurrency of The Open Network) reacted with a more than 20% price spike. As with the general crypto market, the altcoin has struggled to build any momentum in the past few months. After reaching the local high of $6 in early December, the TON price has since been on a steady decline. On Tuesday, March 11, the cryptocurrency dropped beneath the $2.5 mark for the first time in over a year. As of this writing, the TON price stands at around $3.4, reflecting an almost 18% surge in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko, the token’s performance has improved to a positive 17% gain in the past seven days.

Toncoin (TON) continues to face a challenging market environment, struggling to reverse its recent downward trajectory. Trading below the $4 mark, the asset’s price performance over the past weeks has remained largely in the red. Amid these conditions, CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost has shed light on some underlying trends, highlighting that long-term investors are still seeing positive returns despite the overall bearish climate. Related Reading: Key Metrics Indicate Toncoin Accumulation Continues Despite Price Struggle Evaluating TON’s Long-Term Viability and Market Stability According to Darkfost in the post uploaded on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, long-term holders—those who have maintained their positions for over a year—are currently enjoying a 69% profit, even as short-term investors face losses. This dynamic raises questions about TON’s potential as a long-term investment, prompting a closer look at the project’s ecosystem and liquidity. A key metric in this regard is the total value locked (TVL) on the network. Despite market-wide downturns affecting numerous altcoins, data shared by Darkfost revealed that TON’s TVL remains steady at $300 million, maintaining a level of stability since the start of 2024. This resilience in liquidity and locked value suggests a level of sustained confidence in the platform’s fundamentals. Is $TON made for the long term ?

Darkfost notes that examining the masterchain and workchain can provide valuable insights into the project’s adoption. The TON workchain, a flexible blockchain layer designed for executing smart contracts and handling user transactions, has demonstrated consistent activity throughout the year. Related Reading: Analyst Says Toncoin (TON) May Be Primed for Major Recovery—Here’s Why Notably, the “Hamster Kombat” phenomenon earlier in 2024 caused a noticeable uptick in network usage, highlighting the workchain’s capacity to support various applications and drive engagement. Meanwhile, the masterchain serves as the network’s backbone. By storing global configuration data, validator states, and hashes from all workchains, the masterchain ensures that the entire ecosystem runs smoothly. According to Darkfost, the ongoing growth of the masterchain highlights TON’s structural stability and increasing adoption. These factors collectively point to an ecosystem that has not only maintained but also expanded its operational scope amid broader market challenges. The analyst wrote: In conclusion, the TON ecosystem has developed impressively throughout 2024, maintaining robust activity and a solid TVL despite a general decline in crypto market interest.

After a steady decline, Toncoin (TON) has seen a slight price increase over the past day, rising by 1.7% to $3.85. This movement comes amidst ongoing discussions about its longer-term performance and accumulation trends. According to an analysis by CryptoQuant analyst Shiven Moodley, there are indications that TON holders are positioning for a potential rebound. Moodley’s observations, which are detailed in a recent post on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, suggest that the asset may be entering an accumulation phase despite its recent downward trajectory. Related Reading: Analyst Says Toncoin (TON) May Be Primed for Major Recovery—Here’s Why Toncoin Shows Signs of Accumulation Moodley points to several metrics as evidence. The 180-day Sharpe Ratio, a measure of risk-adjusted returns, signals a period of accumulation. This is further supported by stable TVL (Total Value Locked) in lending protocols and a noticeable reduction in speculative trading activity. Notably, the asset’s volatility has declined since the price spikes in December 2024 and February 2025. If this trend persists, it could imply that selling pressure is diminishing, potentially paving the way for a future rebound. Key on-chain indicators also paint a picture of potential opportunity. The Normalized Risk Metric (NRM), which evaluates TON’s valuation relative to historical moving averages, highlights accumulation at a price level of $3.82. Additionally, record lows in the Long-Term NRM suggest that longer-term holders are increasingly accumulating TON at these levels. Historically, similar setups have preceded market recoveries, giving investors a reason to believe that a medium-term price reversal may be on the horizon. Moodley wrote: It remains to be seen whether TON’s price action can stage a full recovery. However, long-term accumulation traders are best positioned to benefit from macro policy changes that could shift sentiment in the broader crypto market. The conditions could align for a potential rebound with selling pressure fading and risk metrics signalling a low-risk environment. On-Chain Metrics Hint at Long-Term Opportunity Another metric Moodley pointed out is the Risk Exposure Ratio—which tracks leveraged positions within TON’s DeFi ecosystem—it has recently reached a new high, exceeding 0.24 in early 2025. This suggests a growing influence of leveraged activity. However, if the ratio begins to decline, it could indicate a stabilization in market conditions, potentially leading to more stable price movements. Furthermore, the Probability of Spend metric shows that coins older than 400 days are unlikely to move, indicating strong conviction among long-term holders. This trend has historically correlated with phases of accumulation and recovery. As Moodley notes, short- to medium-term holders appear to be exiting their positions, likely contributing to the recent price weakness. Meanwhile, long-term holders remain consistent, suggesting a belief in the asset’s long-term potential.

On-chain data shows the Toncoin investors are holding a significant amount of unrealized profit even after the recent bearish action in the asset’s price. Toncoin Is Still Trading A Notable Distance Above Its Realized Price In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the latest trend in a few indicators related to Toncoin. The first metric of relevance is the “Realized Price,” which tells us, in short, the cost basis of the average investor on the TON network. When the spot price of the cryptocurrency is trading above this indicator, it means the holders as a whole can be assumed to be carrying a net amount of unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being under the metric implies the dominance of loss in the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retail Volume Close To Growing Again: Bullish Sign? Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm, that shows the trend in the Toncoin Realized Price over the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Toncoin price has been above the Realized Price for a while now, which means the investors on the whole have been enjoying gains. This arrangement hasn’t changed even after the drawdown that the coin has witnessed recently. Historically, the Realized Price has acted as a support level for the asset. The reason behind this is the fact that investors can be likely to react to dips to their cost basis by buying more, if the mood in the market is bullish. At present, the metric has a value of $2.43, which is significantly under the spot price. Based on the historical pattern, Glassnode notes that the level “remains a crucial level for potential buying pressure.” The next indicator shared by the analytics firm is the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio. This metric keeps track of the ratio between the spot price and Realized Price of Toncoin. From the chart, it’s apparent that the ratio has gone down recently and has reached a value of around 1.54. “This means that, on average, investors are sitting at ~54% unrealized profit,” explains Glassnode.

As the below chart for the Realized Loss shows, the buyers who got in during the top ended up realizing a massive amount of loss in the price plunge. TON Price At the time of writing, Toncoin is trading around $3.77, up almost 3% in the last 24 hours. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from TradingView.com
Toncoin (TON) has faced a prolonged downturn, struggling to regain upward momentum after a tough week. Although it recently recorded a slight daily gain, the asset remains trapped in bearish territory, trading below the $4 mark. Despite this challenging price performance, analysts suggest that Toncoin may be nearing a significant accumulation phase. Related Reading: New Data Suggests Toncoin (TON) Might Be Undervalued—Here’s What It Means Key Metrics Indicate Potential Recovery Amid these market conditions, a CryptoQuant contributor, Crazzyblockk, recently shared a detailed outlook on TON. In a post titled “TON Enters Key Buy Zone – A Prime Opportunity,” the analyst outlined key findings from the Ton Price Models. These models indicate that Toncoin has reached the 0.6x 250-day moving average bottom zone—historically considered a strong accumulation level. Crazzyblockk notes that this data-driven model suggests TON is undervalued, presenting a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors. Notably, the Ton Price Models leverage historical data to identify oversold conditions and potential entry points. According to Crazzyblockk, assets trading near 0.6x–0.8x of their 250-day moving average often signal strong buy conditions. Historically, these levels have served as ideal accumulation zones before major market upturns. The analyst emphasized that TON’s current price position aligns with previous setups that have led to significant price recoveries, making it a promising target for data-driven investment strategies. Toncoin Price Performance And Outlook Meanwhile, Toncoin’s price on the higher time frame has continued to demonstrate a bearish move. In the past two weeks alone, this metric has fallen by a double-digit of 23.4% and roughly a 54.3% decrease away from its all-time high of $8.25 registered in June 2024. However zooming in, TON has shown resilience recording a slight increase of 2.8% in the past day. This uptick although little has been able to push TON’s price above $3.8 nearing the $4 mark. Interestingly, while TON’s price has risen today, its daily trading volume is notably lower compared to last Friday, when the asset was trading at a similar price level. Last Friday, TON’s trading volume exceeded $214 million. However, as of today, it has decreased to $161.2 million. One possible explanation for this drop in trading volume could be a shift in investor behavior, with some market participants holding their positions rather than actively trading, potentially in anticipation of continued price appreciation. Speaking of price appreciation, a renowned crypto analyst known as Ali on X has recently shared an interesting analysis on Toncoin using the TD Sequential indicator. Related Reading: Is Toncoin Set for a Comeback? Key Market Signals Point to a Possible Rebound This indicator is a tool that helps identify potential trend reversals and exhaustion points in price movements. It works by counting a series of consecutive price bars that close higher (in an uptrend) or lower (in a downtrend) than previous bars, forming a sequential count. Once the count reaches a certain number—often 9 or 13—the indicator suggests that the prevailing trend may be losing momentum and could reverse or pause. According to Ali, TON is on the verge of a rebound based on this tool. #Toncoin $TON is showing signs of a potential rebound as the TD Sequential indicator flashes a buy signal on the weekly chart! pic.twitter.com/nRtabmxjxQ — Ali (@ali_charts) February 14, 2025 Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView
Toncoin (TON), which once saw significant hype leading to consistent new highs, has struggled to regain upward momentum. After a series of steady declines in the past week, the asset’s price has now slipped below the $4 mark, leaving investors concerned about its near-term potential. This prolonged downtrend has caused speculation about whether TON might be approaching a crucial turning point that could result in a major reversal in price. Related Reading: Is Toncoin Set for a Comeback? Key Market Signals Point to a Possible Rebound TON’s NMR Hits Rock Bottom: A Golden Opportunity for Investors? Amid the bearish trend, Joao Wedson, a contributor on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake Platform, recently highlighted some intriguing insights. In a recent post, titled “TON Reaches NMR Lows: A Signal for Medium- to Long-Term Accumulation,” Wedson explained that the Normalized Metric Risk (NMR) for TON has hit its lowest levels yet. This indicator assesses the asset’s valuation by comparing its current price against weighted moving averages, including 50-day and 374-day averages. By factoring in logarithmic differences and time-weighted adjustments, the NMR offers a deeper perspective on TON’s market standing. Wedson’s analysis suggests that TON’s current low valuation phase could present a potential opportunity for investors. According to his findings, the NMR’s historic low levels indicate that the token might be undervalued. TON Reaches NMR Lows: A Signal for Medium to Long-Term Accumulation “This indicator, which evaluates the relationship between the current price and weighted moving averages… reveals that the TON token is in a historically low valuation phase.” – By @joao_wedson pic.twitter.com/P8ckhnSFck — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) February 11, 2025 For those who adopt a medium- to long-term investment horizon, this may be an opportune moment to begin accumulating TON, with the expectation that its price will appreciate over time. However, it’s worth noting that such a strategy is not without risks. While historically low valuation metrics may hint at future growth, the broader market conditions and TON’s overall adoption will play critical roles in determining whether this approach pays off. Toncoin Price Performance And Outlook Meanwhile, Toncoin is currently trading at $3.78—this market price marks not only a 1.1% decline for Toncoin in the past 24 hours but also adds to the prolonged bearish trend in TON in recent weeks marking a 22.5% drop in TON price over the past two weeks. Notably, so far, TON has fallen roughly 54% from its all-time high of $8.25 registered in January last year. Interestingly, despite this bearishness, another CryptoQuant analyst known as Darkfost has highlighted a bullish indicator for TON.

While the broader cryptocurrency market appears to be gradually recovering, Toncoin (TON) has yet to join the upward trend. Over the past week, TON has faced significant challenges, seeing its price dip by 5.4%. Amid this price performance, a CryptoQuant analyst has highlighted signs of a potential reversal, especially as recent data sheds light on underlying market dynamics that could impact the coin’s near-term trajectory. Related Reading: Is Toncoin Price Gearing For A Rebound At $5? This On-Chain Metric Suggests So Toncoin Open Interest and Potential Reversal Signals The CryptoQuant analyst Joao Wedson has provided an intriguing perspective. In a recent post titled “TON: Signs of a Reversal?” Wedson highlighted a pattern within the open interest data that could hint at a price rebound. This analysis comes at a critical time, with market participants seeking any indicators that TON might stabilize and regain lost ground. Wedson’s analysis centers around the weekly variation in Toncoin’s open interest—a measure of the total number of outstanding derivatives contracts on the asset. According to the data, the open interest delta has shown a consistent increase whenever TON experiences volatility spikes. Historically, these patterns have been observed ahead of significant price surges, raising the possibility that a similar recovery could be on the horizon.

Even as the broader cryptocurrency market experiences gradual gains, TON has struggled to recover, consistently declining and now down roughly 11% over the past two weeks. This divergence from the broader market’s upward momentum may suggest that TON is facing its own bearish pressures, whether driven by chart patterns or on-chain factors.

The continued decline in TON’s price has not only reduced its market capitalization but also significantly diminished its daily trading volume.
