The Trump Coin price dipped 2.5% in the past 24 hours to $5.51, even as the broader crypto market ticked up 1.5%. Despite the daily loss, TRUMP is up 3% over the last week and 16% in the past 14 days, though it remains down 92% from its all-time high of $73 set in January 2025.
This price action coincides with a major token unlock scheduled for January 18. On that date, 50 million TRUMP tokens—worth a nominal $274 million—will become transferable. This represents 11.95% of the meme coin's current circulating supply and will be released to its creators and the Trump-associated CIC Digital.
Given the Trump family's history of selling TRUMP tokens, with data suggesting they've made around $1.2 billion via crypto as of October of last year, this incoming stash could quickly hit the market, potentially exerting short-term downward pressure on the price.
Looking at the charts, however, indicators suggest a strong position. The relative strength index (RSI) remains above 50 after bouncing from just under 30 at the end of December. The MACD has also just turned positive after months in oversold territory. The coin appears close to a breakout, with its descending pennant pattern hinting at an imminent big move.
While the unlock may cause a short-term dip, the project's fundamental position is arguably strengthening. The Trump family's crypto empire continues to expand; an affiliate of World Liberty Financial recently signed a deal with Pakistan to trial stablecoin-based cross-border payments. This deep industry involvement could provide the foundation for another rally.
Price predictions suggest a potential climb to $10 in the next few weeks, with a target of $20 by Q2.
