Why is Tron up by more than 11% today?

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a mixed performance since the start of the week.

The broader crypto market continues its mixed performance since the start of the week. The market has added less than 1% to its value in the last 24 hours, with the total market cap still above $1.7 trillion.

Bitcoin has found it hard to break past the $39k barrier despite adding 0.95% to its value over the past few hours. Ether risks dropping below the $2,800 level after losing 0.35% of its value in the last 24 hours.

However, TRX, the native token of the TronDAO ecosystem, is the best performer amongst the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. TRX has added more than 11% to its value in the last 24 hours, outperforming the other major cryptocurrencies.

The primary catalyst behind TRX’s ongoing rally is the imminent launch of TronDAO’s decentralised stablecoin USDD. 

TronDAO CEO Justin Sun is set to present and launch the USDD stablecoin during a live event tomorrow, May 5. 

Key levels to watch

The TRX/USDT 4-hour chart is the most bullish amongst the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. The technical indicators show that TRX is outperforming the other major cryptocurrencies at the moment.

The MACD line is within the positive zone, indicating bullish momentum. The 14-day relative strength index of 67 shows that TRX could soon enter the overbought region if the rally continues.

At press time, TRX is trading at $0.07758. TRX is preparing to surge past the first major resistance level at $0.7825 and could do so before the end of the day. However, the $0.0800 resistance level should cap any further upward movement in the short term.

On the flip side, TRX could slip below the first major support level at $0.07326 if the bears regain control. However, it should comfortably defend the $0.07004 support level over the next few hours and possibly days.

Highlights May 4: Major cryptos decline as Fed interest rate decision awaited

Crypto Crash represented by coins falling into flames

The crypto market as a whole is bearish, with most top 100 coins in the red at the time of writing. Investors are awaiting the Federal Reserve’s likely decision to increase interest rates by half a point.

Top cryptos

Bitcoin is considered to be at risk of a breakdown as price momentum slows. The biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently trading at around $38,000, relatively flat over the past 24 hours. 

Ethereum was trading for about $2,800, slightly down today. Most other major cryptos were in the red, but not by much. Solana lost around 1%, and Cardano and Avalanche each lost 2%. 

Crypto.com’s CRO has gained more than 2%, showing signs of potential recovery from a severe dip of over 15%. It faced community backlash after cutting interest rates. 

Top movers

Outside the top 20, TRON’s TRX is up 5%, bringing its total gains for the week to 17%. Tomorrow is the official launch of USDD, a stablecoin that will become available on Tron’s blockchain.

The network promises that USDD will propel stablecoins to enter a new epoch where algorithms and mathematics build the foundation for financial stability and accessibility in a decentralized manner. 

TRX is poised to break the top 20 (currently ranked at 21) and the price of $1 per 1 TRX. Monero, the top privacy coin, added 3% to its value today, as did STEPN’s GMT. 

STEPN is revolutionizing health and fitness. Today, its Genesis NFT collection will be airdropped on Binance. The network hopes to get more active users into BSC and grow out the ecosystem as a result. 

Both Curve DAO Token and Convex Finance, a DeFi protocol that allows Curve liquidity providers to earn a share of trading fees on Curve without staking liquidity there, are among the gainers today. They’re up 8% and 2%, respectively. 

Curve DAO Token (CRV) formed an ascending broadening wedge two days ago, which preceded its gain. Whales are short-selling it now, so the price might fall. 

Finally, XDC Network gained 5% as part of a slight but steady rise since May 1, when they announced a competition hosted by Bitrue and DATACHAIN. They are giving away $3000 in $DC and $500,000 in trial funds. The event ends on May 6. 

Yearn Finance and 0x close out the list of winners, both up 3%.  

Most top 100 coins, except for the above lost 2-4%. OKB shed 5%, reversing recent gains. Axie Infinity and ApeCoin each lost 6%. IOTA is the biggest loser, down 7% today.  

Algorand’s ALGO jumped more than 20% a day after announcing that it would become the official blockchain platform of FIFA. Today, it is down 6%. 

Trending

The biggest winner today is CIX100, the token of Cryptoindex.com 100. Its price today is $0.18, and it has been up 368% in the last 24 hours.  

Cryptoindex.com intends to become a comprehensive crypto market resource offering current analytics and information, including readily accessible price quotes, crypto market news, real-time trading, and order book information.
