Toncoin Soars 14.8% After Binance Listing, Is TON Poised For A Breakout?

Toncoin (TON), the native token of The Open Network, has been one of the best performers this cycle. The token registered a 200% surge in the last six months, flipping Dogecoin (DOGE) by market capitalization. As a result, the crypto exchange Binance announced the listing of TON on August 8, which propelled the price by over 10%.

On Thursday, Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, announced it would list TON on the trading platform. The exchange stated that the seed tag, used for projects with higher volatility and risks than others, would be applied to the token.

Binance announced it would open trading for four new spot trading pairs on August 8 at 10:00 UTC. The pairs include TON/BTC, TON/USDT, TON/FDUSD, and TON/TRY. Additionally, the exchange added Toncoin to Binance Simple Earn, “Buy Crypto,” and Binance Convert.

Meanwhile, TON withdrawals won’t be available until Friday. The telegram-integrated token will also be added to Binance’s Margin and Auto-Invest services on Monday, August 12.

Following the listing, Toncoin saw an initial 14% increase, reclaiming the $6 support zone. The token surged to the $6.4 area before retracing to the $6.3 mark. Moreover, TON’s market activity increased by over 239% in the last 24 hours, with a daily trading volume of $1.3 billion.

Following the recent surge, investors and market watchers have weighed in on TON’s price action. Trader AltCryptoGems highlighted that Toncoin was “outperforming today” with a “very nice pump from support.”

Per the chart, TON bounced from the $5.4 support area to the $6.3 resistance level. If the token fails to reclaim this level, its price could lose momentum and dip to the previous support zone or lower.

However, a successful retest of the key $6.3 mark could drive the price above $6.4. This could lead the token to break out of the downtrend line and propel the price towards TON’s ATH.

The trader suggested avoiding “chasing green candles, especially above key resistance levels.” Instead, he advised that investors monitor the token’s reaction as “it is an interesting area to do some business.”

Similarly, Altcoin Sherpa warned investors about TON despite being bullish. To the analyst, it’s “still a great chain/project.” However, Sherpa considers that the project needs more adoption even if “there are a lot of builders going on there lately.”

“I think TON is still bullish for this cycle but wouldn’t be rushing to buy at current prices,” stated the analyst.

Toncoin displayed one of the strongest performances this cycle so far, reaching its ATH of $8.25 two months ago. The token has neared the $6.4 resistance level, hovering between the $6.35 and $6.38 price range in the past hour. As of this writing, TON is trading at $6.37, a 14.8% increase in the last 24 hours.
