TRX, the native coin of the Tron blockchain, has maintained a downtrend since August 25. Exchanging hands at $0.14 as of this writing, the coin’s value has since plummeted by 13%.

With a growing bearish bias toward the tenth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, its technical setup suggests that TRX is poised to extend this decline. 

Tron Derivatives Traders Look Away

The drop in TRX’s derivatives market activity signals a clear decline in demand for the altcoin. Its Open Interest, which measures the total number of outstanding futures or options contracts that have yet to be settled or closed, has been trending downward since reaching a year-to-date high of $191 million on August 21.

As of press time, TRX’s Open Interest stands at $82 million, reflecting a 57% decline since August 21.

When an asset’s Open Interest decreases, it often signals reduced trading activity or waning investor interest. This also reflects a loss of confidence in the asset’s positive price momentum, which is evident in TRX’s negative funding rate.

On-chain data shows that TRX’s funding rate has been predominantly negative over the past month. The funding rate, which is the fee to keep the contract price aligned with the spot price, stands at -0.0047% at press time.

A negative funding rate means more traders are holding short positions, indicating that a larger number of traders expect TRX’s price to decline rather than rise.

TRX Price Prediction: Price Is Poised to Breach Support

Tron’s price decline since August 25 has led to the formation of a descending channel, a bearish pattern characterized by lower highs and lower lows. The upper line of the channel acts as resistance, currently at $0.14 for TRX, while the lower line serves as support, also at $0.14.

Readings from Tron’s Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator—which measures trend direction and potential price reversals—indicate the possibility of a continued decline. At press time, TRX’s MACD line (blue) sits below the signal line (orange) and is trending toward the zero line.

When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it signals weak short-term momentum. A further drop below the zero line confirms a downtrend, increasing the chances of an extended decline.

If demand for TRX continues to weaken, its price may breach the support line, potentially falling to $0.13. However, if market sentiment shifts and demand for TRX strengthens, the price could break past resistance, aiming for its recent high of $0.17.
