Toncoin price broke below an ascending trendline and the daily support level at $6.99 on Tuesday, failing to close above it the next day. The trendline is drawn by joining multiple swing low levels from mid-March to late July; a break below it signals a bearish move. As of Thursday, TON trades 3.84% lower at $6.59.
If this trendline holds as a pullback resistance at around $6.99, TON could crash 14% to retest the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the rise between the May 1 low of $4.60 to the June 15 high of $8.28 at $6.00.
On the daily chat, this bearish thesis is supported by indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO). Both indicators are below their respective neutral levels of 50 and zero, strongly indicating bearish dominance.

On-chain data also points to a bearish outlook for Toncoin price. According to IntoTheBlock's In/Out of the Money Map (IOMAP), approximately 1,790 addresses bought 1.47 million TON tokens at an average price of $6.93. If the price rises at this level, a significant amount of investors may opt to sell to get a breakeven on their positions.
From a technical analysis perspective, the $6.93 resistance level aligns with the IOMAP findings, marking this zone as a crucial reversal point to monitor.
