Gram drops almost 8% after Telegram expands Gram wallet services within app ecosystem
Gram (GRAM, formerly Toncoin) fell 7.61% today after volatility surged around product rollouts, even as Telegram unveiled its rebranded wallet services and expanded Gram’s in-app utility. The decline comes as technical signals show strong short-term momentum, but mounting overbought conditions and mixed trend alignment limit the move.
Highlights
- Telegram rebranded its crypto wallet to Walt and introduced a Gram wallet for payments across integrated services.
- Users can now buy, store, and use Gram tokens for gifts and transactions within the Telegram ecosystem, aiming to broaden utility.
- GRAM/USD trades near $1.55 in a consolidation zone with mixed momentum signals and is expected to range from $1.3775 to $1.81 in the next five days.
Expanded Gram utility faces adoption drive as sellers dominate
Telegram rebranded its built-in crypto wallet to 'Walt' and launched a dedicated Gram wallet to enhance everyday payments and transfers within the app. The new Gram wallet allows users to buy, hold, and use Gram tokens for gifts and transactions across thousands of Telegram-integrated services. The Walt platform also provides infrastructure for topping up Gram wallets, expanding adoption and utility within the Telegram ecosystem, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.
Bullish signals clash with overbought risks as trend diverges
GRAM/USD is trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at $1.4184, $1.3963, and $1.5292 respectively, signaling bullish momentum in the short, medium, and long term. Near-term support is seen at $1.531 and resistance is at $1.604, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $1.513 providing additional support. However, the medium- to long-term trend alignment remains bearish. Momentum indicators give mixed signals: MACD and Awesome Oscillator show persistent buying strength, but ADX only indicates moderate trend conviction. The RSI is overbought at 72.05 with a "Buy" forecast. Both the Stochastic RSI at 100 and CCI at 220.59 highlight strong overbought conditions, while Bull/Bear Power at 0.2523 confirms intraday buyer dominance. Nonetheless, overbought signals across multiple oscillators suggest exhaustion, and divergent momentum and oscillator signals warn of reversal risk. The price is near the intraday low after a sharp drop, and volatility is elevated at 4.77%.
Earlier, analysts noted that Gram was consolidating within a broad range, with technical signals highlighting short-term uncertainty and the potential for a decisive breakout in either direction. The current update adds a new dimension with the integration of expanded in-app utilities, and traders should watch for a bullish breakout above $1.604 as a catalyst for further upward momentum.
