Price Dynamics and Technical Patterns

In the last three months, TON has operated in a range between 2.10 and 3.15 USDT, with the historical ATH set at 3.34 USDT (April 2025). At the beginning of May, it reached a relative high of 3.15, then started a correction on profit-taking.

The lateral phase between 2.40 and 2.80 USDT, which lasted for most of June, was interrupted on June 11 with a breakout above 2.80 — confirmed by volumes — but without weekly consolidation. The subsequent return below 2.80 set up a classic bull trap.

On the daily chart:

  • A well-defined horizontal channel is highlighted between 2.40 and 3.15 USDT
  • The volume is concentrated around 2.55 USDT (POC), a critical area for the short term
  • In H4, potentially positive patterns (double bottom, inverted head & shoulders) can be glimpsed, not yet confirmed

Operational scenarios

Bull scenario

A stable daily close above 2.80 USDT with volumes higher than the weekly average and an RSI >55 would trigger a new bull impulse. The targets would be 3.00 USDT (short) and 3.15 USDT (medium), with potential extension towards 3.30–3.50 USDT in case of a structural breakout.

Bear scenario

A breakdown below 2.40 USDT would invalidate the consolidation range. The next targets would be 2.20 and 2.10 USDT, with the possibility of extension towards 1.90 in case of a strongly risk-off climate.

Personal forecast

At the moment, the technical picture indicates a probable consolidation between 2.40 and 2.80 USDT, with a slight bullish bias if the support at 2.55 continues to hold. The social sentiment (growing engagement in Telegram groups and increased traffic on TON.org) supports the hypothesis of accumulation in progress.

Conclusion

The Open Network is at a crucial moment: the holding of supports and the constant growth of TVL strengthen the underlying technical structure, while the involvement of the community and the integrations with Telegram represent a unique competitive advantage among layer-1s.

In the short term, attention must remain focused on the 2.80 USDT area: a convincing close above this level could trigger a new bull trend. Otherwise, a return towards 2.10 USDT cannot be ruled out.
