Tron (TRX) is surging 5.0% to $0.2584, outperforming the broader crypto market as Bitcoin (BTC) rises 2.5% to $96,450. TRX is testing key resistance for the second time this month after an earlier rally to $0.4490, representing a staggering 118% gain. This rally was fueled by Tron founder Justin Sun's $30 million investment in a crypto project linked to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, potentially signaling the resolution of Sun’s legal challenges.

TRX’s previous attempt to break the $0.3000 resistance ended in a pullback, but a renewed push could overcome this barrier. Sun’s flamboyant marketing strategies continue to make headlines. One notable example was his purchase of a taped banana artwork for $6.2 million, part of the Comedian exhibit, which he ate in a widely publicized stunt—an unconventional move that captured global attention.
