Remember the TRUMP meme coin that soared to over $5 billion market value immediately after President Donald Trump took his oath? Well, it’s currently on a downtrend. It’s trading slightly above $17, down nearly 18% from its previous day’s close.

It’s Going Down For TRUMP Holders
The broader crypto industry is in the red right now, led by Bitcoin, which has dropped to $95k. Other cryptocurrencies are suffering in the current market, but the $TRUMP token gets special mention for its unique circumstances.
It was reported that the token’s crash happened right after the President shared a post on his Truth Social account. Also, his administration has been fending off criticisms after announcing the new tariff policy.
Immediately after the post went public, TRUMP’s price dipped by more than 13%, dropping below $20. The token enjoyed a huge run two weeks ago, hitting an all-time high of $73.43. Also, data suggests that trading volume for the asset has increased by 65%, valued at $3.4 billion, as holders move to sell.

After hitting a low of $18.75, the token made a few gains to trade above $21. However, it is back at the $17 level, suggesting that it’s currently highly volatile and testing the patience of most traders and holders.
According to Coinglass’ derivatives data, TRUMP’s open interest has decreased by over 13% to $720 million, while 24-hour liquidations have increased to over $15 million, with long liquidations totaling $11 million.
For many experienced traders, the token’s brief dip below $20 is a buying opportunity. Captain Faibik, a popular crypto analyst, has joined the conversations suggesting to “buy the dip.” According to Faibik, the token’s falling wedge is still active, and he expects a strong recovery from it.
