【TRUMP has reached this level, and you’re still looking at candlesticks?】
What really matters is who is taking the other side.
This week, TRUMP has been repeatedly whipsawing around $ 2.41. It’s up 7% over the past 24 hours, but if you zoom out to the past week, it’s still down nearly 10%. With the data in front of them, many people’s first instinct is to look for support and draw resistance lines—but I got tired of that back in 2017. Candlesticks are the past; volume is what tells you who is speaking now.
Volume surged. That’s the key.
Abnormally high volume means some money is quietly accumulating. This isn’t the kind of move retail FOMO can create; retail only adds icing on the cake, not fuel in a crisis. When real money goes in, it’s either institutions testing a position or big players shuffling the deck. Whatever it is, before a direction is established, it doesn’t move this erratically.
The time I got wrecked in 2017 was exactly in this kind of chop: I bought the dip only to catch a falling knife halfway down, then watched it keep sliding. Back then I didn’t understand this—low valuation is not a reason to buy; low valuation plus rising volume is. Now TRUMP is down 97% from its all-time high. It sounds cheap, but cheap things can get cheaper, until someone is willing to put real money on the table and tell you, "this is the bottom."
The sentiment index is 73, which means the market is still in the greed zone. FOMO is still alive, so selling pressure won’t go away. But look at it from another angle: this kind of consensus expectation is often wrong—everyone is waiting for lower prices, and when that level finally arrives, nobody dares to act.
What should we watch next week? Watch whether $ 2.5 can hold. That’s both a psychological level and the main players’ cost basis. If it gets through this level, a real trend reversal becomes possible. If $ 2.21 breaks, don’t hesitate—that’s the final stop-loss line.
Has my view this week changed at all? Honestly, there was a moment of doubt. When TRUMP broke below $ 2.3, my hand did itch for a second. But in the end I still didn’t move—people who’ve been taught by the market know that "looks cheap" and "actually cheap" are two very different things.
Now I’ll throw the question back to you: in this round of choppy action, do you think the big players are accumulating, or distributing?
