Telegram integration and rebranding fuel rapid wallet adoption momentum

Over 700,000 Gram wallets were activated in Telegram within 48 hours, following a phased integration directly into the app. CEO Pavel Durov confirmed that wallets are initialized automatically when users receive Gram tokens. The token also completed its rebranding from Toncoin to Gram earlier in 2026 after a community vote.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the recent 8.14% rebound in Gram as technically unimpressive. He sees the token trading below all main moving averages, signaling sustained bearish pressure. Weak momentum and persistent negative signals from the MACD, ADX, and BBP imply sellers remain in control. Despite the surge in Telegram wallet activations, Kharitonov warns this inflow has yet to translate into lasting bullish strength. "Current price action remains corrective — any upside attempts are likely to face quick exhaustion unless underlying technicals shift," says Kharitonov.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the rapid adoption of Gram wallets within Telegram as a bullish fundamental catalyst. He sees the structural upgrades and integration as a strong foundation for further growth. Karapetjanc remains confident that robust user onboarding and the completion of the rebranding will support upside in coming weeks. He believes market sentiment may quickly turn constructive as adoption deepens. "With this scale of integration and fresh demand, I expect the bullish structure to strengthen and new highs may follow soon," Karapetjanc states.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, sees persistent downside pressure on Gram despite headlines about user activity. He notes that oversold momentum readings rarely guarantee a reversal when the broader trend is this negative. Dele believes sellers are firmly in control and that volatility could remain elevated near session lows. "Until there’s lasting improvement in trend and participation, I view any rallies as vulnerable to fading," Dele comments.

Downside pressure persists as technical barriers and bearish momentum remain

GRAM/USD remains below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($1.1859, $1.3469, and $1.5324), indicating persistent downward pressure in both short- and long-term trends. The near-term ceiling stands at $1.122, with near-term support at $1.03, and the Ichimoku Kijun at $1.194 highlights resistance overhead. The longer-term trend context remains bearish. Momentum signals are firmly negative, with the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) pointing to continued downside traction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are all in their oversold zones, suggesting potential for short-lived rebound attempts but not confirming a reversal. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) remains negative, indicating sellers dominate the intraday environment, and the Awesome Oscillator also aligns lower. The pair last traded at $1.089 after an upside gap of about 3.08%, with daily gains of $0.082 (up 8.14%). Price is mid-range for the session, and intraday volatility stands at 8.93%. The intraday tone shows some recovery off lows, but overall remains under seller influence according to momentum readings.

Earlier, analysts noted that renewed user adoption and technical momentum had shifted Gram’s outlook to a more bullish posture. The current analysis, however, underscores persistent bearish pressure and heightened downside probability, making the $1.03–$1.122 range an essential zone to monitor for any meaningful shift in trend.
