Key Takeaways
Telegram’s “The Open Network” (TON) blockchain has recently outpaced Ethereum in daily active addresses, leveraging its vast 900 million user base. According to Delphi Digital, TON’s active addresses exceeded Ethereum’s, earning it the nickname “The Flippening CT ignores.” The surge is attributed to multiple factors, including integrating the Tether (USDT) stablecoin and introducing Notcoin and Telegram Stars.
Meanwhile, TON is trading at $7.50 near its all-time high and has formed an ascending triangle, indicating upward pressure. If a breakout occurs, TON could soon make a new all-time high above $8.
TON reached an all-time high on April 12, but subsequently entered a downturn, falling 40% to a low of $4.60 by May 1. Analysis of the 4-hour chart revealed the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropping to 36%, nearing oversold conditions and suggesting a potential reversal. Today, June 13, TON came up again to its all-time high which is its third revisite.
We’ve seen an ascending triangle formation from May 1 as the horizontal resistance at $7.50 still holds while the upward pressure persists.
There are two possibilities for TON’s future trajectory: it could either commence a significant uptrend with the rise from May 1 as its initial phase or experience a larger corrective phase that could dip below the May 1 values.
However, a bullish outlook is more likely as it displayed a five-wave structure from May 1. It was most likely the first sub-wave in a higher degree uptrend with its decline to ascending support on 11, another retest before the runup. If TON proceeded below ascending support on this interaction, breaking the support, we would be more on the bearish side.
If we see a breakout to the upside, that would signal the start of its next bull phase with a short-term target of $10. However, if this happens, we would be anticipating further upside, with TON potentially surpassing $10 at its next rally.
