TRON TRX price has rallied in step with the broader crypto market since the July 20 low, recording a 100% gain at the August 16 high of $0.098 level and confidently maintaining support above the July ascending trend line. Despite the noteworthy rally, TRX price has reached a resistance level that corresponds with the April lows while flashing an extreme overbought reading on the daily RSI. The preconditions for a deeper pullback are coming into focus.

From a long-term perspective, TRON's price has been plotting a cup-with-handle pattern since the January 2018 high. The April-July cyclical price correction has shaped the handle. The handle low is defined by superior support attributed to the confluence of the 50-week simple moving average and the 2020 high of $0.053. Now, TRX price is aiming to complete the right side of the handle in the coming months.

TRON price is an opportunity wrapped in mystery

The measured move target of the cup-with-handle base is $0.370, putting the TRON price above the left side of the base at $0.350.

Currently, TRON's price holds the 200-day SMA at a price of $0.078, and the July ascending trend line but is confronting the resistance established by the April lows and the TRX rebound highs that followed the May 19 collapse around $0.095.

The test of the TRON TRX price range while hitting an extreme overbought condition does raise the probabilities of a deeper pullback, possibly down to the 50-day SMA at a price of $0.067. It would create a new entry price for TRX price speculators and the runway for the altcoin to resume the pursuit of a breakout from the cup-with-handle pattern.

The presence of the July ascending trend pattern and 200-day SMA may prevent a deeper pullback for TRON price, enabling a correction in time versus price. Once TRX price closes above the August 16 high of $0.098 and the high of the noteworthy price resistance level at $0.099, it will not encounter any serious technical obstacles until the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 2018-2020 secular correction at $0.137.

The 50% retracement level at $0.178 and the handle highs will also be a challenge for TRON's price if the 38.2% retracement is shattered. It would represent a 100% gain from the current TRX price.

TRON price is at an inflection point as it battles a challenging range with an overbought daily RSI. Subsequently, the mystery is whether the TRX price can beat the resistance mentioned above without a meaningful pullback. Or, does it need to refresh the price structure and technical indicators to master a sustainable price rally to the handle highs and a 100% return.
