User migration to Telegram as WhatsApp ban reshapes Toncoin adoption outlook

The recent ban of WhatsApp in Russia has driven more users to migrate to Telegram, potentially boosting user engagement with services built on The Open Network, which underpins Toncoin. This expansion of Telegram’s user base could indirectly support Toncoin’s broader adoption. No significant product launches or regulatory events for Toncoin have been reported in this cycle.

Mixed momentum signals as key supports hold amid low volatility

On the technical front, the nearest dynamic support lies at the MA-50, while Ichimoku Kijun at $1.689 provides additional backing. The MACD on the D1 chart signals strong bullish momentum, contrasted by a weak trend per the ADX, creating a divergence in directional indicators. RSI is neutral to positive at 50, Stochastic RSI signals oversold conditions, and the CCI is neutral, suggesting the asset is in or near oversold territory but with mixed oscillator signals. Bull/Bear Power points to short-term seller dominance, and the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral. Intraday price action is contained within a narrow band of $1.698 – $1.726, reflecting low volatility and subdued pressure.

Bearish bias persists as breakout odds remain low near weekly supports

For the next 5 trading days, a typical volatility band is expected in the $1.650 – $1.780 range, consistent with recent price behavior. There is a very low probability, under 20%, for a notable price increase; a bearish scenario is more likely given persistent weakness in weekly Moving Averages and momentum indicators. The baseline scenario is for the price to trade sideways within $1.650 – $1.780. A strong move above $1.780 would indicate upside breakout potential, though this currently appears unlikely; a slide below $1.650 could confirm deeper downside, with MA-50 and Ichimoku Kijun serving as immediate supports.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Toncoin stuck below key long-term averages and notes that bullish technical signals are contradicted by weak momentum trends. User migration to Telegram could support adoption, but no fresh catalysts are visible. He remains skeptical due to mixed indicators and prevailing bearish pressure. "As long as TON stays capped under $1.780, the base case is sideways action or further downside — I remain defensive here."

Last time, analysts noted Toncoin was trading in a controlled decline, with price action entrenched below its MA-20 and MA-50 averages and bearish momentum confirmed by weak RSI and persistent negative MACD and CCI signals. Strong selling pressure, overhead resistance near $2.15, and moderate volatility suggest a likely sideways range, with limited upside and a prevailing downward bias unless market sentiment shifts.
