📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:
📉 Current Technical Outlook
Moving Averages (MA):
Price is still below the MA ribbons
This suggests continued bearish momentum
Until TON reclaims these levels, recovery is unlikely
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
RSI remains below the 50 mark
Weak buying pressure; sellers still in control
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Still showing red bars and negative momentum
No signs of a bullish crossover yet
🛑 Key Support Zone: $2.30 – $2.80
This zone acted as strong resistance in the past
Now it's acting as support (classic role reversal)
If TON holds this level, we could see a bounce
If it breaks below, expect deeper price drops
