OBV rises, price falls: Why TRUMP’s ‘buy’ signals may be misleading

The Official Trump [TRUMP] memecoin was down 95.4% from its all-time high. A recent AMBCrypto report highlighted the imbalance between $3.57 and $4.09 on the daily chart.

On Saturday, the 14th of February, TRUMP bounced into this supply zone, reaching $3.64. Since then, it has shed 7.14% and was trading at $3.38 at the time of writing.

It appeared likely that the price would continue its descent below the $3 round-number support.

The 6.33 TRUMP token unlock can add to the selling pressure on the memecoin.

Trump-backed World Liberty Financial was facing an investigation into a $500 million foreign investment linked to the UAE, which did little to improve TRUMP’s optics.

Add to it the strong short-term selling pressure on Bitcoin [BTC], and it was clear that the Official Trump token prices were highly likely to continue their longer-term downtrend.

Gauging TRUMP’s reaction at the $3.6 supply zone

The daily imbalance and supply zone highlighted earlier saw an immediate rejection of TRUMP prices over the past three days.

Highlighted in white on the hourly chart above, the TRUMP structure has shifted bearishly after this rejection. Using a set of Fibonacci retracement and extension levels illustrated the path ahead in the coming days.

The second rejection from $3.58, the 78.6% retracement level (cyan), meant that the southward extension levels down to $3.07 were the immediate targets.

The OBV on the 1-hour timeframe was not bearish. In fact, it has been trending higher over the past week, though it saw a dip over the past two days.

Meanwhile, the RSI’s descent below neutral 50 hinted at a momentum shift.

Traders shouldn’t be fooled by the OBV’s movement over the past week. The higher timeframe bias remained firmly bearish.

Moreover, the short-term price structure made it highly likely that the memecoin will fall to $3.29 and all the way to $3.07 in the coming days.


Final Summary

  • TRUMP token prices bounced to $3.64 last week. It surpassed the  $3.58 local highs and the OBV that was trending higher on the 1-hour timeframe.
  • Traders and investors should not be fooled by this seeming influx of buying pressure and remember that the long and short-term bias remained bearish.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
