The number of social interactions related to Trump’s ETH holdings triggered up to 5.6 million interactions per hour. In other words, there was a lot of social chatter and excitement regarding the former President’s crypto portfolio.

This surge in social engagement became apparent on ETH’s social dominance which briefly surged to the highest monthly level in the last 24 hours.

We also observed a surge in volume in the last four days but this did not translate to bullish demand. In fact, ETH’s price action was bearish during the same period, suggesting that the volume was a reflection of sell pressure.

Can Trump trigger a bullish turnaround?

The social dominance surge suggested that ETH received significantly higher visibility in the last 24 hours. However, it extended its downside during the same period, suggesting that the excitement regarding Trump’s crypto holdings may not have had a significant impact on market sentiment.

ETH bears dominated in the last few days, resulting in enough selling pressure to push below long-term ascending support. It exchanged hands at $1,808 at press time.

ETH’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipped below its mid-point as the market favored the bears. Perhaps the next question should be whether ETH is headed for more downside or is accumulation building up in favor of a bullish pivot sometime in the next few days.
