Tron's Bullish Stampede: TRX Soars 53% in Record-Breaking 5-Day Surge

Despite a cautious market sentiment, Tron (TRX) has maintained its bullish trend, reaching a weekly high of 0.0306 and a 13.56% gain against the US dollar in the last 24 hours. The surge has boosted Tron's market capitalization and pushed it ahead of Bitcoin SV and Tether. The launch of the BitTorrent crypto token (BTT) has contributed to the positive sentiment, as users can now earn rewards for seeding and sharing files. However, the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) suggests that TRX/USD has overextended its upside targets and may be due for a correction.

Tron's Bullish Stampede: TRX Soars 53% in Unprecedented Five-Day Surge

Amidst a sea of cautious sentiment sweeping the cryptocurrency landscape, Tron (TRX) has emerged as a defiant beacon of bullish momentum, maintaining its upward trajectory with unwavering vigor. Wednesday's trading session witnessed TRX/USD reaching a peak of 0.0306, a remarkable 53% surge over the past week's marathon buying spree spanning five consecutive trading days. On a 24-hour timeframe, the pair has catapulted by a staggering 13.56% against the mighty US dollar. This relentless buying fervor has propelled Tron's market capitalization up two notches, eclipsing both Craig Wright's Bitcoin SV and the stablecoin Tether.

Tron's bullish dominance extends beyond the US dollar, as it flexes its muscles against Bitcoin as well. TRX/BTC has ascended by 13.15% to 722 satoshis, according to an aggregate price index.

BitTorrent Token Launch: Fueling the Rally

This surge in optimism appears to be directly linked to the launch of the BitTorrent crypto token (BTT). As the native cryptocurrency of the BitTorrent protocol, the popular torrent file-sharing platform acquired by Tron last year, BTT promises to revolutionize the platform's reward system. As per the official press announcement, BitTorrent users will now be incentivized to seed and share files with BTT rewards. The BTT token is built upon Tron's TRC-10 standard, as outlined in the BitTorrent whitepaper.

CZ, the CEO of the colossal crypto exchange Binance, hailed the development as a compelling "case study."

"The grandfather of Dapp finally finds its decentralized currency and business model. Should be a very interesting case study," CZ tweeted on January 5, 2019.

This strategic move has seemingly attracted a wave of optimistic sentiment towards the Tron market, especially considering the current struggles faced by other top cryptocurrencies in reaching their next upside targets. The token's surge against Bitcoin alone serves as a testament to this newfound bullishness.

Sustainability of the Tron Rally

While the signs of sentiment-driven trading are evident, traders are likely to consider exiting their long positions with profits at the first hint of a pullback.

According to the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) momentum indicator, TRX/USD has surpassed its upside targets. The RSI currently hovers near 80, signaling a potential downside correction in the upcoming sessions. In an optimistic scenario, the TRX/USD pair could form a bull flag as it corrects southward, before resuming its uptrend to establish new highs. Alternatively, the pair could extend its downside correction to retest 0.0182 as support.

Tron has already completed a textbook "cup and handle" pattern, followed by a breakout. Typically, cups with more pronounced "U" shapes and handles smaller than half the size of the cup indicate stronger bullish signals. This pattern analysis provides insight into the interim sentiment driving the Tron market.

In the event of an extended breakout, pushing TRX/USD above 0.0310, the next upside target would be 0.0443, the high reached during the July 18 trading session.
