, which was only the 38.6% Fibonacci retracement level (pale yellow).Usually, a retracement reaches the 61.8% or the 78.6% levels. In this instance, the strength of the buyers did not allow for a deeper retracement. This was evident from the rising OBV. The next targets for the bulls are at $7.15 and $8.05.

The strong bullish momentum that swept across the crypto market on the 8th of April saw TON burst past the $5.55 resistance and reach $6.4. AMBCrypto noted that the cumulative liquidation levels delta was enormously positive.
This meant that long positions far outweighed the short ones. In turn, this implied that a move downward would lead to much more liquidations, and cause more pain in the market.
