Assessing Tron’s latest performance

Tron’s TVL reflected the strong and consistent growth that we have seen over the last few months. For perspective, the number of users on the network crossed the 1 million mark in July of 2021. The latest data revealed that this figure reached more than 2 million users as of July 2023.

The healthy growth has undoubtedly trickled down into Tron’s native cryptocurrency TRX. This was evident from its marketcap which just reached a new monthly high above $7.3 billion. This means its marketcap has grown by roughly $1 billion from its lowest level in the last four weeks.

The recent bullish volume aided the recent marketcap push in the last 24 hours. This was well represented by the bullish volume surge following the Ripple news. TRX has been on a steady uptrend since the second week of June after bouncing off a long-term ascending support level.

TRX bounced back by over 5% on 13 July and was seen approaching its June highs. Surpassing this level will allow TRX to push into a new 12-month high. This rally occurred after Ripple won its legal battle with the SEC. A win that resulted in a resurgence of buying pressure across the crypto market.

Although its bullish prospects are high now that market conditions are improving, it is worth noting that it is approaching overbought territory. This means it is likely to experience a surge in sell pressure due to short-term profit-taking.
