Bitcoin (BTC) rises above $80,000 at press time on Tuesday, triggering a broader market recovery despite the US-Iran ceasefire at risk as tensions resurface. Toncoin (TON) and Terra Classic (LUNC) are leading the market recovery with double-digit gains over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin tests upside breakout, shunning geopolitical tensions

Bitcoin retains a bullish near-term bias as it holds well above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $74,675, testing the rising trendline resistance near $80,900.

The pair is advancing within an established uptrend, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 66 shows firm positive momentum without yet signaling extreme overbought conditions. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is marginally positive, suggesting that bullish pressure persists even as upside momentum has cooled from earlier in the run.

On the topside, initial resistance emerges at the overhead trendline near $80,900, where a sustained break would open the way toward the 200-day EMA at $83,155.

On the downside, immediate support is defined by the 50-day EMA at $74,675, with the longer-standing rising trendline support near $69,121 providing a deeper cushion.

Toncoin hits three-month high as Durov announces Telegram could replace the TON Foundation

Toncoin is up 5% at press time on Tuesday, extending the 22% gains from Monday. This sudden recovery aligns with Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, who announced that Telegram could replace the TON Foundation as the driving force behind the TON token and become the network's largest validator.

Toncoin is in a strong bullish phase above both the 50- and 200-day EMAs at $1.3588 and $1.6646, respectively, which together reinforce a constructive medium-term trend.

Momentum is robust as the MACD histogram expands in positive territory, but the RSI at 81 signals overbought conditions, hinting that upside risk is increasingly vulnerable to a corrective pause or consolidation.

Looking up, the R3 and R4 Pivot Points at $1.8126 and $1.9600, respectively, serve as overhead resistances.

On the downside, the R1 Pivot Point, a resistance-turned-support at $1.5006, and the 50-day EMA at $1.3588 are strong support levels.

Terra Classic burn rate keeps fueling the rally

Terra Classic hovers near the $0.0.000100 psychological threshold at the time of writing on Tuesday, after a 20% surge the previous day. The short-term recovery has hit a 12-month high on supply reduction as token burn rates increase. Data shows that over 220 million LUNC were burned on Monday, down from 1.069 billion on Friday.

LUNC holds a constructive near-term bias as price sits at the 50-day EMA around $0.000054, which crossed above the 200-day EMA near $0.000047 on April 28, signaling a Golden Cross pattern. The RSI hovers in overbought territory near 76, hinting that bullish momentum is stretched and that upside follow-through could face fatigue even as the underlying trend tone stays positive.

The R2 Pivot Point at $0.000100 threshold caps the short-term recovery, where a break above this level could target the R3 Pivot Point at $0.000129.

On the flipside, the R1 Pivot Point at $0.000088 serves as the immediate support level.
