Key Takeaways
The Toncoin (TON) price has been dynamic over recent months, with movements oscillating between bullish impulses and corrective waves.
While recent action hints at a potential breakout, the market remains at a critical juncture. Will TON continue to rise, or is another dip looming?
TON reached an all-time high of $8.25 on June 15, marking an 8.7% increase from its previous peak on April 11.
Despite this rise, it is part of a corrective wave, suggesting the possibility of further downside.
On Aug. 5, TON dropped to $4.70, the same level it had previously found support on May 1. It rebounded to $7.20 by Aug. 14 but faced resistance and fell again.
After bouncing from $5 on Aug. 26 and briefly rising to $6 by Aug. 28, the price hovered before dipping below $5 on Sept. 3, indicating the final stage of an extended ABC correction.
A recovery began on Sept. 6, reaching $6.14 by Sept. 28 before returning to $5 support on Oct. 9.
What makes the price slightly bullish is that TON has kept above $5 since Oct. 9, which is a higher low compared to the one in September.
However, it still hasn’t broken above the descending resistance. The key question is whether this signals the start of a bullish trend or another corrective bounce before breaking below $5.
Since Aug. 14, TON’s hourly chart has revealed a five-wave downward pattern, with the recovery up to Aug. 28 representing corrective wave four.
The subsequent decline completed the structure, and the brief dip below $5 formed an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern, suggesting the potential for a U-shaped bottom.
A five-wave upward pattern emerged from Sept. 6 to Sept. 14, possibly indicating an impulsive move. The high on Sept. 27 at $6.20 was considered the B wave in an ABC correction, which ended on Oct. 3 at $5.
Following this, TON rose by 7%, peaking at $5.33 on Oct. 14, after which a lower-degree descending triangle formed.
This movement may represent the first two sub-waves of a new five-wave impulse. A breakout above descending resistance will confirm this, and there is a strong chance TON could rise to the $7 area if wave 3 of the higher degree count unfolds.
On the other hand, a breakout below $5 will most likely lead to lower values than in September, potentially even falling below $4.
