Toncoin (TON) is showing signs of recovery amid a challenging cryptocurrency market, with the potential retest of $1.5 likely to bolster bulls.
Gains on the day, which included a 24-hour uptick of about 5%, come as the TON stalks bullish momentum amid key Toncoin ecosystem developments.
Toncoin sees modest gains to $1.43
The Toncoin price has hovered in double-digit gains territory over the past week, with TON experiencing a sharp bounce from the $1.29 lows seen on February 11, 2026.
On Friday, traders keen on more green serving pushed the Telegram-supported cryptocurrency to highs of $1.43, extending gains and defying the broader weakness that has halted movement for Bitcoin and top altcoins.
These gains come amid key bullish catalysts, including the launch of TON Pay, a new payments SDK aimed at simplifying crypto transactions within Telegram apps.
Additionally, the TON Wallet’s partnership with MoonPay has enhanced stablecoin support, while recent updates added Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) storage and bridging capabilities for over 100 million users.
Russia’s ban on WhatsApp also accelerated Telegram user growth, with TON blockchain’s native token riding the development.
TON price prediction
The latest uptick has pushed TON’s market cap to over $3.5 billion, and sees Toncoin currently rank among the top 30 cryptocurrencies by capitalization.
However, while price has jumped in the past 24-hours, trading volume has remained low.
Data from CoinMarketCap showed the metric at $91 million, down 8% to suggest bulls have yet to fully take advantage as bearish sentiment dominates the crypto market.
The technical picture for TON presents a cautiously optimistic outlook, as seen with key technical indicators on the daily chart.
The RSI is in neutral territory near 49 and upsloping, suggesting room for upside if buying pressure builds.
Meanwhile, the MACD has turned positive and the histogram signals a potential expansion.
If cryptocurrencies surge amid the latest US inflation data, Toncoin could easily add to its intraday gains.
A decisive break above $1.50 could validate a reclaim of higher levels seen earlier in the year, with the $1.90-$2.37 area a major target.
However, economist Mohamed El-Erian noted on X that while the CPI data was largely “good news” for markets, it’s not all rosy.
“Less good [news] is, as other inflation data will show, the US economy is now in its sixth consecutive year of inflation running above the Federal Reserve’s target,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, overall crypto market conditions temper this bullishness.
Sentiment remains in the “extreme fear” zone per the Fear and Greed Index, with Bitcoin still below $68,000 amid the latest downward move.
In this case, TON’s path higher could hinge on Bitcoin stabilizing to above $70,000 as gains reduce liquidation pressure across the sector.
If prices fail to hold above $1.40, a drop to support around $1.30 could allow bears to target $1.20.
