During this market crash, a crypto trader who had benefited from trading TRUMP tokens lost about $24M in a swap. The trader traded 763,582 TRUMP for 9.48M USDC and suffered heavy losses, given the price of TRUMP was sinking. 

Initially, the trader had earned $11.8M from TRUMP. Still, after investing $33.9M, the market downturn led to a significant loss, wiping out both profits and $12.6M of the trader’s initial capital.

Where is TRUMP Price Heading to?

Technical indicators on the daily chart suggest that TRUMP could drop further as the bearish momentum holds. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Relative Strength Index (RSI) point to a further journey in the bearish region. 

The RSI sits at 24 indexes within an oversold territory showing that sellers currently dominate market conditions. Should the current trend continue to hold TRUMP’s price, it could drop further toward the $10 mark.
