The crypto market has witnessed a remarkable phenomenon, as Toncoin (TON)<\/a>, a blockchain platform that emerged from a messaging app, has flipped Chainlink (LINK), one of the most popular decentralized oracle networks, in terms of market capitalization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors Affecting the Surge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Toncoin, formerly known as Gram, is the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network (TON), a decentralized layer-1 blockchain that was initially developed by Telegram, the encrypted messaging platform, in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the project was abandoned by Telegram due to regulatory issues and was taken over by the TON Foundation, a non-commercial group of supporters and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TON aims to provide a fast, transparent, and secure platform for various applications and services, such as messaging, gaming, DeFi, supply chain, and payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TON claims to have a high scalability and performance, as it can process millions of transactions per second (TPS) using a sharding mechanism and a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the key factors behind TON\u2019s growth is the anticipation of its upcoming launch of Fair Mint,<\/strong> a new feature that allows users to create and distribute their own tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain using TON. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair Mint was announced on November 7 and has sparked considerable interest within the crypto community, leading to a surge in user activity on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor contributing to TON\u2019s popularity was its previous airdrop, <\/strong>which had a token value of approximately $2,600. The airdrop attracted many users to the platform and increased the number of transactions and interactions on TON. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promise of new opportunities and rewards has resonated with the crypto audience, leading to a high level of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technical Outlook for TON<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From a technical perspective, TON\u2019s uptrend was supported by the key level of $2.26, which acted as a strong support. As a result, the TON price bounced back to $2.38, where it faced some resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the pullback to $2.34 may only be a temporary correction before TON resumes its upward movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is confirmed by the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security\u2019s price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At press time, the MACD was positive, indicating a bullish momentum. The MACD line (blue) was also above the signal line (orange), which is a buy signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the buying pressure continues, TON may rise to $2.43,<\/strong> the rejection point that pushed the cryptocurrency down on November 16. A break above this level could open the door for further gains, possibly reaching $2.50<\/strong> or higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if the selling pressure intensifies, TON may fall below $2.26, which could trigger a bearish reversal, possibly testing $2.10 or lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toncoin\u2019s price has been on a steady uptrend since September 2021, when it was trading at around $0.5. Since then, it has increased by more than 400%,<\/strong> reaching an all-time high of $2.62<\/strong> on November 12, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Toncoin is trading at $2.35, with a market cap of $8.06 billion,\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> according to CoinMarketCap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent price surge was supported by a strong demand for TON tokens, as evidenced by the increasing trading volume and network activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CoinGecko, the 24-hour trading volume of TON was $55.9 million, while the number of active addresses on the network was 1.3 million, according to TON Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if the selling pressure increases, TON could fall below the support level of $2.26, which would invalidate the bullish scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that case, the next support level for TON could be $2.10, which is the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the same decline. Below this level, the price could drop to $1.92, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and a previous resistance-turned-support zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toncoin has a high social score of 72.8 out of 100,<\/strong> indicating a positive sentiment among the crypto community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the project has partnered with several prominent platforms and organizations, such as Huobi, Bybit, Azbit, and the World Economic Forum, to increase its exposure and reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the Toncoin project deserves attention, as it could become one of the leading blockchain platforms in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
