TRUMP at $2.8—are you chasing it?
First, look at the surface: up 160% in 10 days, with retail investors frantically chasing the rally and shouting, “Trump is bullish.”
It bottomed at 1.37 on August 13, then surged violently, reaching a high of 3.6 within 10 days—a 170% gain. The White House Crypto Summit, mentions of the CLARITY Act, and “new coin” rumors ignited FOMO.
RSI is overbought, CCI is elevated, and trading volume has expanded abnormally—a high-level consolidation following an overheated rebound.
First: the “new coin” rumor pumped the price, then the rumor was debunked and insiders dumped—the script is all too familiar.
One account spread the word that “Trump is going to launch a new coin.” The spot price shot directly from 1.4 to 3.6, and retail investors rushed in on FOMO. Eric Trump then clarified that there was no new coin and that the alleged launch was a scam. The price promptly fell back.
Rumor-driven pump, debunking, and dumping—this assembly line has run countless times on this coin. While retail investors are still charging in shouting, “Trump is bullish,” wallets linked to insiders have already transferred tokens to OK and cashed out millions of dollars.
Second: the White House meeting is real, but a “meeting” does not equal a “pump.”
Trump met crypto executives at the White House and urged Congress to advance the market structure bill, reigniting the “pro-crypto president” narrative. This is indeed bullish. The bullish news has been priced in—what comes next?
The CLARITY Act represents procedural progress, not implementation. If there is progress in mid-September, it may trigger another emotional pulse, but selling will most likely resume after that pulse. What meme coins fear most is not a lack of buyers, but insiders selling while you rush in.
Third: a signal has appeared on the technical chart that must be taken seriously.
The 170% gain from 1.37 to 3.6 in 10 days resulted from the convergence of three factors: an oversold rebound, a short squeeze, and rumors—not a healthy trend. The current decline from 3.6 to 2.8 is a “secondary rebound after a spike,” not a “continuation of the main uptrend.”
Bulls vs. bears—see for yourself
On one side:
The White House has personally endorsed it, reigniting the political narrative
A violent rebound from 1.37 has turned the trend bullish
BTC has held above 80k, and risk appetite is recovering
Spot ETFs have recorded consecutive net inflows, improving liquidity
On the other side:
A 170% gain in 10 days, leaving the market technically severely overheated
Wallets linked to insiders are continuously selling, with 900k tokens unlocked daily
There is another large unlock of 28.7 million tokens on September 18
Approximately 98% of buyers are still underwater, creating huge overhead selling pressure
Resistance above: 2.90-2.96 → 3.20-3.25 → 3.55-3.77
Support below: 2.50-2.55 (lifeline) → 2.20-2.25 (20-week EMA) → 2.05 (breakdown and weakening) → 1.37-1.50 (deep-drop zone)
Scenario A: Buy the retest
Wait for 2.52-2.58 to stabilize on declining volume before entering, with a stop-loss at 2.45 and targets of 3.05-3.20. Alternatively, chase a breakout after it holds above 2.96 on increased volume, with a stop-loss at 2.78 and targets of 3.20/3.55.
Scenario B: Short at high levels
If long upper wicks, volume-price divergence, and rising funding rates appear around 2.88-2.96, consider a small short, with targets of 2.55/2.22 and a stop-loss at 3.05. Shorts must be especially wary of a short squeeze caused by a dovish speech and another BTC rally; the position must be smaller than a long position.
Scenario C: Stay on the sidelines
If 2.50 breaks and the price fails to reclaim it on the 1H timeframe, stay flat for now. The next level to watch is 2.21. Only reassess the bullish case if it holds; a break below 2.05 would end the rebound structure from 1.37.
Trading strategy
Position-sizing rules:
This is a high-volatility political meme coin; use only 3-5x leverage for perpetuals
Keep the risk on each trade to 1%-2% of principal
Do not hold a large position overnight to gamble on the speech; reduce exposure before and after Warsh’s remarks
“Hold and do nothing” has a negative expected value on this coin. The strategy must be swing trading, not faith.
From 75 down to 1.37, then from 1.37 back up to 2.8, its essence has not changed: it is still an attention asset and an unlock machine.
Much of the trading volume you see at 2.8 comes from leveraged gamblers and insiders changing hands with counterparties. You can trade the short-term volatility, but in the medium to long term, do not use a spot-investor mindset to “buy the dip and wait for a doubling.”
You are watching the rebound; the team is watching your buy order.

At 2.8, do you dare get on board?
