TRX has seen better days

Though bearish sentiment dominated the crypto market last week, TRX’s performance was decent. According to CoinMarketCap, TRX’s price increased by more than 2% in the last seven days.

At the time of writing, TRX was trading at $0.07088 with a market capitalization of over $6.4 billion.

A look at TRX’s daily chart sheds light on what happened last week.

TRX’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the bulls were ahead in the market as the 20-day EMA was resting above the 55-day EMA. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) also moved upwards last week, which was a development in the buyers’ favor.

Interestingly, things can get even better, as the MACD displayed a bullish crossover on 16 May. Nonetheless, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) registered a slight downtick, as has the MFI, which could cause trouble in the near term. 

Which way is the wind blowing?

Thanks to TRX’s performance over the last week, positive sentiment increased. This was evident from the improvement in its weighted sentiment.

Not only that, but Tron’s social volume also increased slightly last week, reflecting its increased popularity in the crypto space.

It was also interesting to see that, despite multiple reds through the week, TRX’s demand in the derivatives market finally increased, as suggested by the Binance funding rate.

Additionally, TRX’s open interest rose marginally over the last few weeks as well. This suggested that the current price trend might continue for some time.
