3 Altcoins to Watch as Trump’s Inauguration Fuels Crypto Market Activity

As Donald Trump prepares to be inaugurated as the 47th U.S. President, the crypto market is abuzz with activity. 

1. Official Trump ($TRUMP)

Solana-based meme coin $TRUMP is leading the charge as one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies of the moment. At press time, $TRUMP is trading at $56.83, marking a 30% increase in the past 24 hours.

However, technical analysis suggests caution. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for $TRUMP has hit 98.59, an extremely overbought level that hints at a potential price correction. The RSI, which ranges from 0 to 100, flags values over 70 as overbought and under 30 as oversold.

Should a correction occur, $TRUMP’s price could drop to $31.64. However, if bullish momentum continues, the meme coin might retest its all-time high of $78.


2. Solana (SOL)

As the blockchain hosting the $TRUMP meme coin, Solana (SOL) is another altcoin to watch closely. The Solana network has seen a surge in activity following the launch of $TRUMP, driving its price to an all-time high of $295.83 on January 19.

However, recent market corrections have seen SOL’s price drop to $267.18, a 4% decline in the past 24 hours. Strengthening selloffs suggest SOL’s price may dip further, potentially reaching $239.39.

Conversely, an improvement in market sentiment could see SOL reclaim its all-time high and possibly rally beyond it, making it a key altcoin to monitor.


3. XRP

Ripple’s XRP has also emerged as a notable asset during Trump’s inauguration buzz. Speculation suggests XRP could play a role in Trump’s proposed “America-first strategic reserve” of cryptocurrencies.

Currently trading at $3.24, XRP has risen 38% over the past week. The altcoin remains above the green line of its Super Trend indicator, which provides dynamic support at $2.56. This indicator suggests a bullish trend, with buying activity outweighing selloffs.

If the uptrend persists, XRP could aim to reclaim its multi-year high of $3.41. However, a surge in sell pressure could drive XRP’s price down to the $2.56 support level.


Market Outlook

As Trump’s inauguration ushers in a new era of crypto discussions and potential policy shifts, the performance of these three altcoins could offer a glimpse into the market’s trajectory under his administration. Traders and investors are keeping a close eye on $TRUMP, SOL, and XRP as the crypto space braces for a potentially volatile week ahead.
