Justin Sun is boosting the value of Tron making use of the DeFi craze

The launch of SUN Genesis Mining had a significant impact on the price of TRX. The foundation calls it a 'meme' coin and states that its purpose is to focus on TRON's decentralized finance potential.

We understand that a series of self-governance communities such as MakerDAO, Compound, AAVE, YFI, etc. have emerged on Ethereum. We hope to use SUN to promote the vigorous development and possibilities of TRON's DeFi self-governance community.

Even more recently, 1inch's Mooniswap announced the integration with the TRON blockchain, which aims to allow liquidity providers to increase their earnings further and slow down volatile price movements. 

Tron has been outperforming the market thanks to Justin Sun

Back on September 3, when the entire crypto market was collapsing, Tron broke out with a 45% price move. TRX did eventually drop but has been able to bounce back harder thanks to other developments.

TronFi, a decentralized development platform for Tron launched Pearl Finance, a classic farming platform that allowed users to farm PEARLs using USDJ, the Tron stablecoin, and JUST (JST). Additionally, the platform also launched SalmonSwap, which allowed users to farm SAL using TRX liquidity pairs, further boosting Tron's price. 

TRX/USD daily chart

The price of TRX has created a clear equilibrium pattern with a lower high and a higher low. Bulls would need to crack $0.0359, the lower high to break out from the pattern towards $0.05 again. The total number of transactions performed by Tron users has increased significantly after the recent price spike indicating that the move is not artificial, giving the bulls a better chance to see a breakout.

The bearish scenario would be Tron slipping below $0.027 straight into the 50-MA at $0.025. The next support level will be $0.022, followed by the 100-MA at $0.021.
