This comes as Ethereum grapples with several issues, such as reduced network fees, lackluster staking rewards, and weak demand for its newly launched spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Traders are worried that Ether might lag even if the broader crypto bull market rebounds, due to anticipated declines in fixed-income incentives in the United States.
Tron’s price at $0.1503The price of TRON (TRX) was at $0.1501 today with a 24-hour trading volume of $310,161,793. This represents a 0.32% price increase in the last 24 hours.
Crypto analyst Mystery of Crypto believes TRX can maintain its current momentum. In a recent X post, he suggested that a breakout could be achievable if the cryptocurrency’s fundamentals continue to be robust.
Technically, Tron (TRX) also shows bullish signs, trading above both its 100-day exponential and simple moving averages.
If the TRON ecosystem continues to gain traction in 2024, the TRX coin price could potentially reach $0.251.
Conversely, if TRON encounters regulatory challenges and struggles with adoption, the TRX price may fall to $0.080.
