Toncoin Faces Weekly Liquidations: Here’s Why

Toncoin (TON) has seen outflows in the last 24 hours after recording huge gains in recent months. The native utility token of The Open Network is down 3.28% today and over 5% this week. The weekly liquidation for the asset comes amid positive inflows across the cryptocurrency market.

As a result, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) soared above $66,000 marking a sharp increase from previous levels. This rise was also seen in altcoins with several assets making double-digit gains. 

Reasons For Bearish Tone

Firstly, the asset has recorded plunging daily volumes. At press time, TON trades at $6.462 with daily trading volumes at $280 million, a 34.7% decline. 

This led to a bullish sentiment placing weekly flows in the red zone. The recent decline of gaming tokens, Notcoin is also linked to the fall of Toncoin. NOT slumped 50% after marking sharp gains in the market. The asset’s recent surge was due to its airdrop marking the launch with a frenzy across crypto spaces.

The decline started when most users began selling their assets leading to a crash in price. Crypto analysts drew lines with the pattern of most airdrops as users look to make quick profits.
