Toncoin breaks out! Is the TON rally here to stay?

• TON experiences a bullish surge with an 8% increase and a promising ‘golden cross.’
• A healthy RSI and increased social volume suggest the rally might continue, supported by investor interest.

In a remarkable twist, Toncoin [TON]  bulls took control two days ago, pushing it to increase by 8% at press time. This sudden surge was driven by increased buying pressure and traders’ abrupt change in market sentiment.

However, the question remains whether TON can sustain this rally and break through key resistance levels to establish a new uptrend.

The 62 RSI means that there is still room for upward price movement before the asset is considered overbought. Given this and the golden cross, the market sentiment appears to have completely shifted in favor of the bulls.

TON’s social volume and social dominance have both increased dramatically over the past five days. These spikes in social metrics often precede or coincide with a rally.
