TON (Toncoin) Nears Accumulation Zone as Key Metrics Signal Market Bottom

Toncoin (TON) currently shows low-risk potential according to its NMR measurement and Sharpe Ratio, which suggests investors may consider accumulating the asset.

Toncoin (TON) is currently showing low-risk potential according to its Net Net Multiplier (NMR) measurement and Sharpe Ratio, which suggests investors may consider accumulating the asset. Historically these market conditions have acted as signals that focus on entry points for both medium- and long-term investment.

TON stands as an altcoin which sustained its all-time peak value along with Bitcoin (BTC), Tron (TRX), and Solana (SOL).

TON’s Market Performance and Recent Developments

The token price was trading at $3.64 at press time, reflecting a slight 0.94% increase in the last 24 hours. However, the token has declined by 3.41% over the past seven days. The market capitalization stands at $9.08 billion, with a circulating supply of 2.5 billion TON.

The recent decline in TON’s price follows the arrest of Pavel Durov in France, where he has been charged with multiple offenses. The market reacted negatively to this news, causing TON to drop further. The decline was worsened by underperformance in projects within its ecosystem.

The famous Ton project, Hamster Kombat has lost more than 80% of its peak value which reduced its market capitalization to $110,129,008. The market value declined noticeably below initial projections that forecasted more than $10 billion earnings because of TON’s 300 million user base.

Futures Open Interest and Trading Volume Shifts

Open interest in TON futures reached its maximum levels during July and August 2020 after a sharp increase from March then stabilized. Recent Coinglass data indicates that open interest has fallen to $137.94 million after a 2.80% reduction. Recent statistics indicate a 57.91% decline in trading volume which currently stands at $99 million.

Despite high open interest levels trading volume declines which indicates a decrease in speculative market behavior. Lower trader participation appears likely when open interest keeps decreasing. An increase in open interest could indicate growing leveraged positions that could result in sudden market price shifts.

Holder Data and Market Distribution

Most token owners of TON currently operate at a loss even though a small minority reports profits. The majority of TON holders are currently operating in the red because only 4 percent are making profits. The token supply distribution shows large investors owning 91% while this concentration makes prices vulnerable to significant changes.

The correlation between TON and Bitcoin stands at 0.93 which indicates TON’s price reacts similarly to Bitcoin’s market activities. Analysis reveals that 91% of TON token holders maintain their possession for between 1 month and 12 months although only 3% retain it for one year or longer. IntoTheBlock data reveals a number of investors who hold TON tokens for short periods instead of being dedicated project supporters in the long run.

Potential for Accumulation and Breakout

Net exchange data from the last week reveals a total outgoing movement of $1.76 million which demonstrates modest accumulation. Whales and institutional investors appear to maintain their activity based on the fact that large transactions above $100,000 reached $29.37 billion during the previous seven days.

The combination of a low Sharpe Ratio, declining volume, and whale accumulation indicates that TON is at a critical juncture. If open interest begins to rise again, traders may see this as an opportunity for a potential breakout.
