Soon after the launch, the OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) price experienced a huge pullback that has continued in recent times. Meanwhile, the ease in the global markets has led to a strong recovery within the crypto space. The top tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc., and many more have been thriving with flying colors, which has triggered the memecoin mania too. The top ones like Dogecoin & Shiba Inu prices are attracting decent gains, but the other memes like Brett, FLOKI, doewifhat, and Bonk have been surging with a huge margin.
Meanwhile, the rise in the TRUMP price has raised everyone’s eyebrows and has also raised concerns about whether the rally is short-lived.
Currently, TRUMP is running hot with a massive increase in the trading volume as bullish news flew in. Soon after, President Trump announced a private dinner with the top 220 holders of the token on May 22. Just a couple of days before, on April 18, nearly $300 million worth of TRUMP tokens were unlocked, and traders began to short, anticipating a pullback. However, the latest rounds of private dinner have liquidated $8.5 million of shorts. Moreover, a whale just bought nearly $5 million worth of tokens, which has pushed the price above $16 for a while.
This huge purchase suggests whether the U.S. President is indirectly compelling the investors to buy more TRUMP. It gets more shocking after joining the dots of Trump owning 90% of the TRUMP supply, the lockup period on the supply expiring, and Trump placing tariffs on the entire world and carving out exemptions for companies on a case-by-case basis. Interestingly, only 24% of the tokens have been unlocked till now, and the rest, which includes a daily unlock of 492K tokens, will last for the next couple of years.
The bulls have failed to surpass the pivotal resistance at $16.5, despite a 90% upswing and a 500% increase in the trading volume. This points towards the possibility of a short-term rally as the bears have begun to extract profits.
