Tron surges by nearly 25% – Dead cat bounce or real momentum?

The crypto market has stabilized after two days of massive sell-offs. This comes as the US Fed made a serious commitment to deal with inflation with aggressive monetary policy. Tron (TRX) has been one of the best-performing coins in this recovery, with a 25% upswing over the last week. But is this real momentum or just another dead cat bounce? Here is what you need to know:

  • TRX showed incredible resilience even as the market crashes

  • The coin is now above a crucial $0.05 support and could stay there for days

  • With momentum picking up in the market, TRX could hit $0.09.

How long can TRX maintain the uptrend?

Well, there are many factors at play in crypto right now. The Fed’s aggressive move to deal with inflation is a good sign. But there are still many underlying economic factors that could make any rally short-lived. 

For instance, there is a real prospect that a major recession in the US could come later this year. So, for TRX, the uptrend will have to deal with these possible risks. If momentum in crypto slows, then it will be hard for TRX to maintain growth. 

We don’t think there is enough confidence in the market for a sustained bull run in crypto right now. As such, TRX will see a dead cat bounce rally over the coming week before it retreats again. But if it can stay above the $0.05, the possibility of a major downside is limited.

TRX’s short-term trading play

The best way to invest in a risk-averse market is to pick a short-term position. TRX offers a good play in this. 

First, if the coin stays above $0.05, it could provide a decent entry point for bulls. A short-term rally will likely push TRX toward $0.09. This will be the ideal time to exit and cash out.

Spotlight on Celsius as Texas securities regulator opens investigation: Report

Regulatory scrutiny on Celsius Network, a leading crypto lender in the market that’s hit turbulence, continues to mount, according to a report by Reuters on Thursday.

Celsius hit headlines this week as concerns over a potential flip into insolvency heightened following its decision to pause customer withdrawals.

According to the report, the Texas State Securities Board has confirmed that it has indeed opened an investigation against the crypto lender.  Other investigations have been opened in Alabama, Washington and New Jersey.

The Texas regulator has reportedly certified the matter as a “priority,” with concerns that the company’s situation poses serious financial ramifications for customers.

The probe into Celsius comes as the New Jersey-based firm looks to navigate the murky waters that it currently wades in. On Wednesday, the company moved to hire business restructuring lawyers.

Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky has assured customers and the broader community that the firm is “working non-stop” on the issue. Other than this, not much has been forthcoming and the ‘freeze’ on all withdrawals remains in place.
