Tron experienced a significant retracement on its retest of the 2022 high of $0.0944 on 22 July. This highlighted the selling pressure still present at the price zone.

Has Tron’s bullish streak ended?

A look at TRX’s price chart on the 12-hour timeframe highlighted its recent bullish trend. Tron made a series of higher lows, flipping the $0.0711 and $0.0787 resistance levels to support.
However, the bullish trend hit a critical roadblock at the $0.0850 – $0.0940 price level. A 15% price drop between 22 July to 24 July saw Tron hovering just above a key support level, as of press time.
With the price lying at a critical level, a break below the $0.0787 support level will see bears break a confluence of support levels and a higher low. Take profit levels would lie at $0.0700 – $0.0711. This could flip TRX bearish on the higher timeframes. On the flip side, a successful defense at the support level by the bulls would sustain the uptrend for TRX.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipped below the neutral-50 and the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) entered negative territory, highlighting waning demand and strong capital outflows.

showed that the OI dropped from $95 million to $65 million over the past three days. This indicated liquidation by discouraged long traders which hinted at a continuation of the bearish trend for Tron.How much are 1,10,100 TRXs worth today?
Similarly, the Spot CVD dropped sharply highlighting the waning demand. This could serve as a cue for more bearish momentum in the short term.
