Support Collapse and Structural Context

$TON broke below $1.72 on the 4-hour timeframe, a level that had contained price action and served as a pivot point for intraday reversals. The breach was accompanied by volume confirmation, indicating institutional or coordinated selling pressure rather than thin-wicked rejection. This wasn't a wick-driven fake-out; price closed below the level and held there through the subsequent candle.

The $1.72 level's significance stems from its role as a swing low formed during the previous upswing attempt. When a support of this magnitude caves without immediate recovery, it typically signals a shift in session momentum rather than a temporary pullback.

The $1.68 Floor: What's at Stake

The next structural floor sits at $1.68, representing a confluence of two technical elements. First, it aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement from the recent swing high, a level where smart money often scales into positions on liquidation cascades. Second, $1.68 marks a previous resistance-turned-support zone from earlier price action, creating a double-layer floor.

If $TON closes a 4H candle below $1.68, the breakdown extends the corrective structure and opens sight lines to $1.64, where the next cluster of buy-side liquidity sits. Currently at $1.71, price is roughly 3 Satoshis above the critical 4H support, giving bears minimal margin for error.

RSI and Momentum Indicators

The Relative Strength Index on the 4-hour chart has not yet reached oversold territory (below 30), currently trading in the 35-45 range depending on the exact candle close. This suggests the selling, while decisive, has not yet exhausted momentum readers. A deeper probe toward $1.68 could push RSI into the 25-30 zone, where mean-reversion trades become statistically favorable.

MACD on the 4H has crossed into negative territory, with the histogram turning bearish. The signal line remains above the MACD line, but the crossover is recent enough that histograms have not yet compressed into a tight band. This configuration indicates early-stage downside momentum rather than exhausted selling.
