- Tornado Cash surges +700% after a U.S. court ruled sanctions unlawful.
- Despite this surge, the TORN token remains 96% below its $408 all-time high.
- Technical indicators hint at a possible slowdown in TORN ‘s bullish run.
After a U.S. Court declared sanctions against the Tornado Cash platform as unlawful, the TORN token surged 700%. However, it traded 96% below its all-time high of $408. At the time of writing, the token is hovering around $20.
In February 2021, TORN’s circulating supply was 500,000 tokens, valued at $204.07 million, with a price of $408 per token. By November 2024, the total supply increased to 8.9 million tokens, but its market cap is approximately $176.04 million. This matches its 2021 valuation despite the difference in token price.
Most of TORN’s supply went to governance (55%), followed by team and investor allocations (30%), anonymity mining (10%), and airdrops (5%). The price dilution aligns with the gradual unlocking of supply, reflecting the challenges of token inflation and market sentiment towards privacy protocols.

Technical Indicators Hint at Waning Bullish Sentiment
The technical indicators hint that Tornado Cash may face friction in its bullish momentum. The 14-day RSI, currently at 83.42, remains above the overbought threshold of 70 but is trending downward. This indicates that TORN is likely to experience overbought conditions, setting the stage for a possible short-t
Similarly, the Directional Movement Index (DMI) reflects a weakening uptrend. While the +DI line (75.39) remains above the -DI line (0.72), signaling bullish dominance, the downward trajectory of the +DI line suggests that buying pressure is easing. However, the ADX value at 57.33, indicates a strong overall trend. If the ADX declines, it would reduce momentum and increase price consolidation or retracement.
