After weeks of persistent selling pressure, Toncoin is beginning to stabilize, and derivatives data indicates that traders may be preparing for a more significant recovery.
Recent market flow data shows that $TON has seen a sharp increase in short-term futures inflows, with 5-minute net futures flow rising to over $120,000 from more muted levels earlier in the session. More significantly, the 30-minute figure increased to almost $468,000, and the 15-minute futures net inflow reached about $214,000. When taken as a whole, these figures show that futures participation has increased by more than 660% over short-term baselines, indicating a significant resurgence of speculative interest.
Toncoin maintains an effort
$TON is trying to maintain a crucial support area close to $1.70. The asset has stabilized around its 50-day and 100-day moving averages following a precipitous drop from the May peak above $2.80. At the moment, price action is compressing between major moving averages, which makes it possible for volatility to increase either way.
$TON has successfully recovered its short-term moving averages following a recent breakdown, in contrast to many altcoins that are still trapped beneath all significant trend indicators. This implies that buyers are still actively protecting important levels of support.

The recovery story is further complicated by the positioning of derivatives. Major exchanges' long-short ratios continue to favor bullish traders, with Binance and OKX displaying more longs than shorts. Even though overconfidence can occasionally turn into a contrarian signal, the current readings are still fairly balanced and do not show severe overcrowding.
Liquidity is coming back
The potential for a rebound is also supported by volume data. The trading volume on Binance alone was close to $100 million, and Bybit and OKX provided significant liquidity. During attempts at recovery, healthy volume is essential because it shows that market players are willing to trade at current prices rather than just watch from the sidelines.
But there are still risks. Several major exchanges have seen a decline in open interest, indicating that some traders are still limiting their exposure. Furthermore, $TON has dropped more than 17% over the previous seven days and almost 29% over the previous month, underscoring the overall negative outlook.
The $1.80-$1.85 range, close to the moving average cluster, is the crucial level for bulls to keep an eye on. If there is a clear breakout above that area, it may be confirmed that the recent increase in futures flows is not a transient speculative spike but rather actual accumulation.
$TON might have a feasible route to prolonging its recovery over the upcoming weeks if buyers keep control.
