Key Takeaways
Telegram’s deeper TON integration and Pavel Durov’s latest platform upgrades have reignited momentum across TON-based tokens.
Hamster Kombat, Notcoin, DOGS, UTYA, and Catizen are all showing bullish breakout structures after extended accumulation phases.
This analysis reveals whether the prices of these Telegram coins will continue to rise in the coming weeks before May ends.
Earlier in the week, Telegram, through its CEO, Pavel Durov, made clear that it is no longer treating TON as a side project.
That shift became clear this week after Durov disclosed sweeping changes to Telegram’s relationship with The Open Network (TON), including Telegram becoming the network’s largest validator
Besides that, yesterday, the CEO added that Telegram is rolling out a massive platform update featuring:
10+ new features.
200+ improvements.
and deeper TON integration across the ecosystem.
The announcement has reignited momentum across Telegram-native coin projects, especially those tied directly to Mini App, social payment, gaming, and TON-based community economies.
Here are five Telegram coins now back in focus heading into the second week of May 2026.
Hamster Kombat (HMSTR)
Hamster Kombat remains one of the largest Telegram-native gaming brands in crypto.
For those unfamiliar, the project built its audience through viral tap-to-earn mechanics directly inside Telegram.
Now, it is one of the Telegram coins that benefit from TON’s infrastructure expansion. Over the past seven days, the Hamster Kombat price has increased nearly 40%.

This happened after it spent months in accumulation, and the move is now pushing directly into a major resistance cluster around the 0.382 Fibonacci level near $0.00022.
Furthermore, the rounded bottom structure in the chart suggests a shift from distribution to recovery. Meanwhile, the holders’ sentiment has flipped positive, signaling renewed confidence in the altcoin.
Momentum is clearly improving. However, the RSI had previously flashed a bearish divergence signal on the 4-hour timeframe.
This means the rally could slow down or consolidate before continuation. As long as HMSTR’s price holds above the breakout zone around $0.00019, bulls still maintain control of the structure.
If buyers reclaim $0.00022, the next upside targets sit around $0.00028.
A stronger continuation breakout could eventually open the path toward $0.00032.
However, rejection at current levels could lead to a healthy retest of the breakout trendline before the next expansion leg higher.
Notcoin (NOT)
Notcoin was one of the first Telegram-native tokens to prove that viral distribution inside the app could translate into real liquidity in 2024.
As expected, NOT recently rallied following Durov’s TON disclosures.
On the daily chart, Notcoin has finally broken out of its long-term descending resistance after months of compression.
The breakout candle featured a notable rise in momentum, while both the MACD and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) flipped bullish.
At the time of writing, Notcoin’s price is now attempting to reclaim the key 0.236 Fibonacci level around $0.00087, which acts as the first major confirmation zone.
If bulls manage to hold above the breakout trendline and continue pushing higher, the next upside targets sit around $0.0015.
A stronger continuation move could eventually open the path toward $0.0018.
The structure still remains early-stage. Thus, short-term volatility is expected after such an aggressive breakout.
But overall, this is the strongest bullish shift NOT has shown in months.
DOGS (DOGS)
DOGS has become one of the strongest-performing Telegram ecosystem memecoins in recent sessions.
Like other Telegram coins, the cryptocurrency rallied after Durov publicly highlighted the community-led growth of the ecosystem.
For the memecoin, the biggest catalyst is that DOGS is increasingly viewed as a potential “social currency” inside Telegram’s future ecosystem.
On the technical side, DOGS has exploded out of its long-term falling channel with one of its strongest moves since launch.
The breakout in the image below was supported by a bullish golden cross. In this case, the 20-day EMA (blue) crossed above the 50-day EMA (yellow) just before the price accelerated.
At press time, the price has now reclaimed both the 0.236 and 0.382 Fibonacci levels, showing rising buyer demand.
So, as long as DOGS holds above the breakout region around $0.000077, the bullish structure remains intact.
Therefore, the next upside targets sit near $0.000095 and then $0.000114.
However, a continuation breakout could eventually push DOGS’ price toward $0.00014.
But still, short-term volatility is likely after such a massive rally.
UTYA
UTYA remains one of the more speculative Telegram ecosystem coins, but attention is returning quickly as traders search for lower-cap TON-linked assets.
But why does UTYA matter in this context?
Well, historical data reveal that smaller ecosystem tokens often outperform in early-stage narrative rotations, especially when larger ecosystem assets begin trending.
Therefore, UTYA is a higher-risk, higher-volatility play tied directly to Telegram ecosystem momentum.
On the daily chart, UTYA has undergone a full market structure reversal after breaking out of a long-term descending resistance.
The breakout was extremely aggressive, with the market cap rising from below $10 million to nearly $50 million, driven by massive volume inflows.
What stands out technically is how quickly UTYA’s price has reclaimed multiple Fibonacci levels in one move, slicing through the 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618 zones.
However, the current pullback appears more like profit-taking after an overheated rally rather than a complete trend failure.
As long as UTYA maintains structure above the 0.618 level, the broader breakout remains bullish, and another push toward $0.062 could drive its market cap close to $70 million.
However, after such a parabolic move, volatility will remain extremely high, and short-term retracements could occur.
Catizen (CATI)
For Catizen, it sits at the intersection of Telegram gaming, TON infrastructure, and AI-powered social experiences.
The project has consistently ranked among the most active Telegram-native gaming ecosystems.
Therefore, TON’s scaling improvements could significantly boost transaction activity, directly benefiting projects like Catizen that rely on seamless in-app experiences.
At the time of writing, CATI’s price has completed a cup-and-handle breakout.
The breakout above the handle structure triggered a strong rally, with price reclaiming the 0.236 Fib level and now pushing directly into the 0.382 Fib resistance zone around $0.069.
The rounded bottom suggests long-term seller exhaustion. On the other hand, the handle formation acted as the final consolidation before breakout continuation.
Besides that, momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls as the price continues to print higher highs.
If CATI’s price closes daily above the 0.382 Fib, the next upside targets are around $0.079 and then $0.089.
