Huboi mentioned in the official announcement that STRX spot trading will open when the deposit volume meets the demand of market trading, which will be officially announced in advance.

Apart from this, another major development from last week was related to QuickNode. The blockchain development platform extended support for Tron, allowing users to access the Tron network from QuickNode.

Nothing is helping Tron Staking

The last week was not a good one for TRX staking, as it registered a continued decline. As per Staking Rewards, the total number of TRX stakers decreased, which had already been on a declining trend for weeks.

The total amount of TRX staked, which earlier registered signs of recovery, plateaued over the last few days. These metrics suggested declining interest of stakers in TRX despite the Stake 2.0 launch.

On-chain performance was not satisfactory

Other metrics of the Tron network were also showing signs of weakness. For instance, Tron’s development activity plummeted, which in general is a negative signal.

In fact, TRX’s demand in the derivatives market was also low, something that was very evident from the reading of Binance funding rate.

The weighted sentiments metric remained on the negative side throughout the week, suggesting that negative sentiments were dominant in the market.

However, the good news was – TRX’s long/short ratio spiked on 1 May. A high ratio indicates bullish market sentiment. Thus, suggesting a price uptick in the coming days.

TRX’s price action remained bullish

The on-chain performance was not the best, but TRX’s price action made investors happy. According to CoinMarketCap

, TRX’s price increased by more than 3% in the last seven days. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.06859 with a market capitalization of over $6 billion.

Furthermore, the coin’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the bulls had the upper hand as the 20-day EMA was above the 55-day EMA.

However, things might slide out of Tron’s hand as its Relative Strength Index (RSI) was about to enter the overbought zone.

Lastly, the Money Flow Index (MFI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) both took a sideways path, which can restrict TRX’s price from going up further.
