TON traders may soon lean toward a bullish outlook.
- TON formed an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the daily chart. Negative exchange Netflow indicated a possible upward shift, but mixed signals still cloud the market’s direction.
The past week has been turbulent for Toncoin [TON], with a 9.26% drop in market price. While signs of recovery are emerging, progress has been minimal, with a modest 0.52% gain in the last 24 hours.
Despite the lackluster performance, there remains a glimmer of optimism as AMBCrypto notes the potential for positive momentum ahead.
Bullish potential for TON
At press time, TON has formed an inverse head and shoulders pattern, a classic signal of potential bullish momentum.
As shown on the chart, the pattern consists of three peaks: a left shoulder, a higher head, and a lower right shoulder.
A bullish confirmation typically occurs when the price breaks above the neckline, which connects the two troughs between the shoulders.
Currently, TON has yet to breach the neckline. Once it does, it would confirm the bullish trend, with a potential price target of $5.804, if not, then it can fall to its October low of $5.139 or lower.

However, assessing on-chain metrics is important to determine whether a breakout is imminent.
Metrics suggest uncertainty
According to Coinglass, the OI-Weighted Funding Rate has remained positive, sitting at 0.0080% at press time, indicating bullish sentiment in the market.

While this metric points to a potential bullish move, liquidation data suggests neutrality, hinting at a possible downward shift.
Recent data shows that $268.15 thousand has been liquidated from the market, with $146.96k from long positions and $121.19k from shorts, reflecting a relatively balanced market.
For a bullish breakout to occur, a larger wave of short liquidations would be required, with a significant disparity from long liquidations. If this does not happen, TON could fall to $5.139.
Reduced supply could fuel a breakout
Recent data shows that a significant amount of TON has been withdrawn from multiple exchanges over the past seven days, which may impact market dynamics.
According to Coinglass, over $19 million worth of TON has been moved off exchanges, suggesting that traders are opting to hold their assets privately rather than selling them.

If this negative Exchange Netflow continues, it could reinforce the existing bullish sentiment in the market. This could potentially contribute to a breakout.
