Toncoin

Toncoin’s price has bounced back, increasing by 3.5% to reach $6.60. This recovery follows a dip below $6.50 showing a 9.5% decrease over the week. At the same time, data from on-chain sources indicates a reduction in TON network activity paired with an uptick in speculative trading. 
On August 5th, TON emerged as one of the top gainers alongside Litecoin and XRP after a market crash. While XRP’s surge was linked to a court ruling in the Ripple vs. SEC case, TON’s price benefited from Russia’s law legalizing crypto mining introduced on August 8th. This legislation also had positive effects on other&nbsp; Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and Bitcoin.

Toncoin’s price performance was notably strong due to its ties to the Russian market. After a volatile start to August, with the price falling to its lowest in three months at <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/TONCOINUSD/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$4.78 on August 5,</a> the cryptocurrency saw a recovery, reaching $7.10 by August 19. 
Short-term traders who purchased TON during the early August dip are now realizing profits. On August 22, Toncoin’s price fell below $6.50, following four consecutive days of losses and marking a 9.5% retracement since August 18. The inability to surpass the $7.50 resistance level has dampened bullish momentum.

During the 48% rebound from the August 5 lows, bulls dominated the TONUSD price action. However, the focus has increasingly shifted toward speculative trading at the expense of fundamental network activity.
