  • As per TRONSCAN, Tron’s total transactions crossed 5.7 billion. 
  • Market indicators were bearish and suggested a further price drop.

Tron [TRX] has been witnessing a decline in key network stats, which was concerning. As per Artemis’ data, TRX’s daily active users have declined sharply over the last 30 days.

A decline in the metric suggests less usage of the network. Daily transactions also followed the same trend and dropped over the last few weeks.

The decline in daily transactions was surprising, as TRONSCAN pointed out another achievement on 30 May of the network.

As per TRONSCAN’s latest tweet, the total number of transactions on Tron exceeded 5.7 billion, which is a commendable number. 

Tron to receive a major network upgrade soon

The declining metrics can soon change course, as Tron is waiting for a major network update named GreatVoyage-v4.7.2 Periander. The update is expected in the month of June.

As per the official announcement, the contents and features included are still under discussion and yet to be determined. 

However, there are plans to make changes as per TIP 541, 542.543, and 544. Stake 2.0 is optimized by TIP-541.

Currently, users need to wait 14 days after initiating a Stake 2.0 unstaking transaction over the HTTP API before they can withdraw the associated cash. With the update, more flexibility will be given to users.

Other notable changes include adding a proposal to optimize the resource delegation API, adding a proposal to allow adapting to the Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade, upgrading the p2p network module to Libp2p v2.0.0, etc. 

Tron bears are here

TRX’s price action also turned bearish after witnessing an increase over the previous week. According to CoinMarketCap, TRX’s price declined by more than 1.5% in the last 24 hours.

At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.07542, with a market capitalization of over $6.8 billion.

The decline was accompanied by an increase in volume, which emphasized the bearish pressure.

Despite the price action, it was interesting to see sentiments around TRX improve as its weighted sentiment moved up. TRX’s social volume was also high, reflecting its popularity.

TRX’s price to decline further

A look at Tron’s daily chart gave more reasons for concern. The MACD displayed a bearish crossover. TRX’s Relative Strength Index registered a downtick and was heading towards the neutral mark.

However, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon was still bullish, as the 20-day EMA was above the 55-day EMA.
