NAIROBI (CoinChapter.com) — Tron (TRX) is on a steady surge, reaching highs not seen in years. The altcoin’s native token has hit $0.2910, its highest market value in six years, marking a 43.06% gain since early Dec. This rally places TRX just shy of its all-time high of $0.3004, barely 7.51% below that mark.

TRX’s Bullish Patterns Hint at a Historic Breakout

TRX’s rise is not random—it follows a two-year rounded bottom pattern, a classic indicator of bullish reversals. The token’s breakout above $0.18 and its breach of the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.2366 highlight its technical strength. Additionally, the fair value gap between $0.1865 and $0.2364 supports further upward movement, with $0.30 in its crosshairs.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 87.08, a level considered overbought, indicating high buying pressure. Historical data suggests that such conditions have often preceded record price surges, hinting at a potential new peak for TRX in Dec. The Directional Movement Index (“+DI” at 58.0225 vs “-DI” at 7.5402) shows a strong bullish hold, backed by an Average Directional Index (ADX) of 39.7018, confirming the solid uptrend.

Mihir, a cryptocurrency analyst, recently predicted TRX could reach $1.8—a staggering 336% increase from its current levels. “Consider reposting this if you liked it,” he wrote, reflecting growing confidence among traders in TRX’s potential.

Justin Sun’s Moves and Market Sentiment

Adding to Tron’s growing momentum, its founder Justin Sun recently joined World Liberty Financial (WLFI) as an advisor after buying $30 million worth of WLFI tokens, becoming one of the major stakeholders. This involvement with a DeFi venture backed by Donald Trump and his sons has brought increased visibility to Tron, potentially influencing positive market sentiment.

At press time, Tron (TRX) is trading around $0.38 after a brief rally pushed it to a new peak of $0.43, according to CoinGecko. TRX’s market value rose sharply from $19 billion to $36.7 billion, marking an 85% rise in one day. Over the past 30 days, the token has gained approximately 140%, outpacing the broader crypto market. Market analysts are already predicting that TRX could aim for $0.48—the 1.618 Fibonacci extension—if current conditions hold.

Meanwhile, searches for Tron spiked to a three-month high. This is reflected by a surge in interest likely tied to Sun’s high-profile acquisitions, including a $6.2 million artwork. In addition, analysts also highlight the onset of an altcoin season. This is indicated by declining Bitcoin dominance and growing capital inflow into smaller cryptocurrencies like TRX.

Should TRX fail to maintain its support above the $0.2366 mark, a retest of the $0.18 breakout level could occur, marking a potential consolidation period before a renewed upward push.
