TRUMP crypto drops 10% as short bias grows ahead of demand zone test
bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Official Trump [TRUMP] has declined 10% in the last day, reversing a previous 34% monthly gain. This drop pushes the asset into a potential demand zone that has previously acted as resistance on three separate occasions. The last entry into this level caused a 32% loss, establishing the August low.
A rebound within this zone could target $3.00 to $3.40, while a failure might lead to a plummet toward Demand Zone 2. Bollinger Bands indicate the market is currently undervalued, with previous entries into the red band triggering rallies. Specifically, a drop to the red band on 18 August led to a local high of $3.66, a level last seen on 18 March 2026.
If this pattern repeats, prices might rally to between $2.35 and $2.72. However, the Money Flow Index (MFI) is at 54.41 and trending downward, signaling weak capital flow. The OI Weighted Funding Rate has dropped to -0.0221%, indicating heavy short positioning. With perpetual market Open Interest at $175.72 million, the market currently favors short traders until a clear catalyst emerges.
How the market reacted

Whalio data shows TRUMP trading at $1.94 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 51.2% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 52.0%, indicating slight short-term buying pressure. This contrasts with the 24-hour buy ratio of 48.9%, suggesting that buying interest is fading over the longer timeframe. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$8,687, while the 4-hour delta is +$81,471, showing recent net inflows. However, the 24-hour volume delta is -$438,185, and the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) closed at -$266,770, confirming net outflows over the day. These metrics imply that while immediate trading shows modest buying, the daily trend is dominated by sellers. The spot volume for the period was $20,045,892 across 127,897 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.0% sits at the 60th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
