Interestingly, TRX’s recent price action also looked pretty promising. It gave investors hope as its price increased by nearly 10% over the last week. According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, TRX was trading at $0.05398 with a market capitalization of more than $4.9 billion.

Not only that, but TRON also remained quite popular in the crypto industry, as it was among the top 15 coins by trending searches on Binance.

Are the good days ending for TRON?

Though TRX’s performance of late looked good for the token, let’s have a look at the network’s on-chain metrics to better understand what’s going on. For instance, despite the commendable price hike, TRX’s volume registered a sharp decline, questioning the legitimacy of the surge.

TRX’s development activity also took a southward path, which was not a positive signal. However, the token managed to garner interest from the derivatives market; its Binance funding rate went up over the past few days.

Curiously, TRON’s NFT space did not perform well over the last week. After registering a spike, TRX’s total NFT trade count and total NFT trade volume in USD went down.

Going forward

TRON’s daily chart revealed an ambiguous story, a few indicators were supportive of a further price hike. TRX’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) marked a sharp spike, which was a positive development. The MACD also displayed a bullish crossover, increasing the chances of an uptrend.

Nonetheless, though the Money Flow Index (MFI) had risen, it registered a slight downtick. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the bears had an advantage in the market, which might be troublesome for TRX in the days to follow.
