TON Price Analysis Shows Weak Technicals
Toncoin price chart by TradingView
Toncoin price peaked at $8.28 in June and has retreated by over 40% to $4.67. It recently formed a death cross pattern as the 200-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) crossed each other. Cryptocurrencies and other assets tend to decline sharply whenever the death cross is triggered.
TON price is hovering at the 50% Fibonacci Retracement point and slightly below the ultimate support of the Murrey Math Lines.
On the positive side, there are signs that it has formed a double-bottom pattern at $4.50, and whose neckline is at $4.50. A double top is a popular bullish reversal sign.
Therefore, if Toncoin price breaks below the double-bottom point at $4.50, it will risk falling below the extreme oversold level of $4 followed by the 61.8% retracement level at $3.88. The latter price is about 15% below the current level.
On the flip side, if the double-bottom pattern works well, it means that the TON token price could jump to the neckline at $6.15, 31% upside from the current point.
