Trump Token Defies Odds at $8.5 – Can Bulls Stage a Comeback Against Relentless Bears?

The so-called 'Official Trump Token' clings to relevance at $8.50—defying gravity, common sense, and perhaps the SEC's watchful glare. Meme coin or political loyalty test? Either way, the chart tells a brutal story.

Bears Dig In Their Claws

Short positions pile up like unpaid legal bills. Trading volume suggests more speculators than true believers—typical for an asset riding nostalgia rather than utility.

What’s Next? A Pump or a Plunge?

Key resistance looms at $9.20, a psychological barrier thicker than Mar-a-Lago's walls. Break through? Bulls might rally. Fail? Prepare for the inevitable 'market manipulation' tweets.

Bonus jab: At least this token's volatility outpaces its namesake's attention span.

Official Trump has tested the $8.5 support zone once again. Over the weekend, following the drop to $8.5, the price has bounced to $8.89 at press time.

However, the market structure was firmly bearish, and a MOVE above the $10.5 local high is necessary to flip the structure bullishly.

Zooming out, AMBCrypto found that the memecoin has been unable to break the $11 level since early June. Conversely, the $8.5 demand zone has been defended steadily.

This meant that the Trump token offered a good buying opportunity, targeting the $10.5 resistance.

The OBV has fallen slightly lower, while the RSI’s reading of 39 reflected bearish momentum. While this indicated we should expect the downtrend to continue, traders can be confident of buying Official Trump.

They should expect the range formation to continue, until it is decisively broken. Such a break has not yet materialized.

The dotted yellow line at $8.95 was the local lower high for TRUMP bulls to breach. The market structure on the 4-hour chart remained bearish, but a move past $8.95 could change this.

The CMF readings have been above +0.05 since the 1st of August.

This signaled buying pressure, reinforcing the idea the swing traders can look to buy. Overall, the bullish idea has a clear invalidation- a drop below $8.5.

The reward outweighed the risk, especially if Official Trump can climb past $8.95.
