TRON Defies Market Downturn with 11% Rally: Here’s Why TRX Is Surging While Bitcoin Stumbles

Why Is TRON Rallying Despite Market Dip?
TRON’s (TRX) latest upswing could be due to the project announcing an expansion of its AI fund from $100 million to $1 billion. AI-driven projects have seen substantial interest, and TRON’s latest move may have boosted investor sentiment.

The rally could also be due to Nasdaq-listed entity, Tron, acquiring an additional 160,835 TRX tokens, as announced on March 21, 2025. The company’s total TRX holdings have increased to a 688.5 million, valued around $216.5 million. Corporate treasuries played a vital role in the 2025 bull market, aiding Bitcoin’s (BTC) rise to a new all-time high of $126,080 in October of last year.
CoinCodex analysts anticipate TRON (TRX) to continue its upward momentum over the coming months. The platform predicts TRX will hit $0.3923 on May 6, 2026. Hitting $0.3923 from current price levels will entail a correction of about 24.69%.
Despite the bullish outlook from CoinCodex, investors should tread carefully. The crypto market is still extremely fragile, and fresh volatility could lead to a price correction for TRON (TRX). Bitcoin (BTC) is already showing some weakness, and other assets could follow suit.
