Key Takeaways
Official Trump (TRUMP), the crypto token linked to former President Donald Trump, has recorded over $1 billion in trading volume. This surge comes one day ahead of a primary token unlock event.
The project will release 200 million tokens into circulation on Friday, July 18.
In anticipation of the unlock, TRUMP’s price has climbed nearly 10% over the past week and is now edging closer to $10. But will the memecoin hold this bullish trend?
According to Tokenomics (formerly Token Unlocks), the TRUMP team will unlock 200 million tokens, valued at approximately $891.90 million.
Historically, token unlocks tend to increase circulating supply, which can lead to heightened selling pressure. If demand doesn’t rise to absorb the additional supply, the TRUMP token price may face downward pressure in the short term.
However, the impact could be neutral or bullish if new buyers step in aggressively. Ahead of this, on-chain data shows that the trading volume around the cryptocurrency has risen to $1.06 billion.
Amid this, the TRUMP price has also risen to $10.17. The rise in volume indicates substantial market interest in the cryptocurrency.
From a trading perspective, if sustained, this could increase the TRUMP token price as the volume could strengthen the uptrend. At the same time, this upcoming supply shock is something to watch.

Meanwhile, the Hodler Net Position Change indicator reveals a slowdown in TRUMP accumulation. This metric tracks the monthly change in long-term investor (HODLer) position.
A negative reading signals that HODLers are reducing their exposure by selling or reallocating, while a positive reading indicates that they’re adding to their positions.
In TRUMP’s case, the recent decline suggests that long-term investors have cooled on accumulation, which indicates that more holders have cashed out ahead of the upcoming token unlock.

Should this trend intensify before the token unlock, TRUMP’s price might struggle to hold above $10.
From a technical point of view, TRUMP’s price continues to trade within a symmetrical triangle. Despite closing in on the triangle’s upper trendline, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) shows that the cryptocurrency is not yet clear for a breakout.
As seen below, the 20 EMA (blue) is below the TRUMP token price. The 50 EMA (yellow), on the other hand, is above the price, indicating that the memecoin could undergo consolidation in the meantime.

However, if it experiences high selling pressure due to the token unlock, the market value might slide to $7.05.
Conversely, if the market absorbs this large supply, TRUMP’s market value could bounce toward $17.01.
