TON’s price grows
This low volume spike in price suggests a few possibilities. It could be a short squeeze, with rising prices forcing short sellers to buy back TON, but with limited sellers remaining to push the price even higher.
Alternatively, large investors might be accumulating TON at a premium, driving the price up without a high volume of trades.
At press time, TON was trading at $7.62. The price of TON had retested the $7.659 level and weakened it even further.

In it for the long haul
Coming to the state of the holders, AMBCrypto’s analysis of IntoTheBlock’s data revealed that the average user held TON for around 6.8 months. This indicated that most of these holders were in it for the long term.
Investors who are bullish on TON are less likely to sell their coins on short-term price fluctuations. This reduces the overall supply of TON available for trading, which can contribute to price increases.
Long-term holders tend to be less reactive to short-term market movements. This can help to dampen volatility in the TON price, as there’s a smaller pool of holders looking to cash out on quick gains.
