Tron Price Forecast: TRX breaks below key support
Tron price faced rejection around its yearly high of $0.370 on Saturday and declined nearly 7% until Monday, closing below the ascending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple lows since June 22). At the time of writing, it hovers at around $0.345.
If TRX faces resistance around its daily level at $0.345 and continues its correction, it could extend the decline toward its 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.330.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is hovering around its neutral level of 50, indicating indecisiveness among traders. For the bearish momentum to be sustained, the RSI must move below its neutral level. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bearish crossover on Sunday, giving sell signals and suggesting a downward trend ahead.
