By CCN Markets: Tron (TRX) has entered the list of top ten cryptocurrencies after rising exponentially four days in a row.
The TRX-to-dollar exchange rate established a weekly high of $0.0407 on Sunday, its best since June 4. That took the pair’s highest month-to-date gains to 42.5 percent, including a 31 percent gain noted across the last four daily sessions. At the same time, the Tron’s market capitalization surged to as high as $2.61 billion. At its highest, it was circa $16.752 billion.
On a 24-hour adjusted timeframe, Tron outperformed its peers, including ether, XRP, litecoin, and bitcoin cash, by rising more than 6 percent. Only bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization and adoption, managed to come closer to Tron with 2.36 percent gains. At the same time, the Tron-to-bitcoin exchange rate witnessed a 4 percent jump, suggesting that Tron is stronger against bitcoin on an intraday basis.
What Drove Tron Higher?
While TRX appears to be merely tailing the bitcoin price rally like any other altcoins, its surge in the last four days looks different.
RelatedNews
The past week saw the TRX market bombarded with a string of mildly optimistic events. First, the Tron Foundation released an upgraded mainnet to introduce “a more lightweight built-in event server with added protocol data check.” Second, the Tron blockchain reported growth in its decentralized application ecosystem by posting higher daily volumes than its close competitors EOS and Ethereum. And third, a New York-based FinTech startup, dubbed as Carbon, recently launched its stablecoin atop its blockchain.
Also, with bitcoin lately hitting the $11,000 level and showing signs of retracements, TRX appeared like an ideal asset for intraday hedging, with its set of positive fundamentals.
Opportunities
The TRX price is currently trending higher inside a Rising Wedge, confirmed by at least five reaction highs as resistance and eight similar lows as support. It is likely for the price to extend its upside towards the Wedge Resistance and — then — to pull back towards the Support, thereby creating adequate long/short opportunities in the near-term.
As of now, the Tron rate is testing $0.0414 as an interim resistance level, while eyeing $0.0443 as its upside target. Conversely, a pullback from $0.0414 or below creates a decent short opportunity towards the Wedge Support in red. A breakdown below support, at the same time, brings $0.0268-0.0294 range in view as a downside target area.
