What’s Next for the TON Price?
Back on Sept. 4, a crypto trader under the nickname Ali on X (formerly Twitter) wrote that the Toncoin needs to hold the $4.70 level. However, if TON collapses below that, there could be a deep correction to the $2.63 level, which is about a 45% drop.

Another trader under the nickname Crypto Tony also expects two scenarios to unfold: either rising to the $5.12 level or falling below $4.40.
