First Lady Melania Trump announced the debut of her meme coin on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration, and hard on the heels of her husband launching his official TRUMP coin.  Melania’s entry into the meme coin market with MELANIA has caused a stir, with the token surging more than 20,000% in value since its debut. This spike led to a sharp drop in the value of the Official Trump coin, which plummeted by more than 50% as traders shifted their attention to Melania’s new crypto.

A veteran crypto trader says that one digital assets sector is about to pull off an under-the-radar repeat of its 2021 rallies. The pseudonymous trader known as Bluntz tells his 304,000 followers on the social media platform X that the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is “de-risked” following news that the crypto project linked to President-elect Donald Trump has accumulated tokens. Says Bluntz, “The president is accumulating DeFi coins and is making his own DeFi company. I think it’s safe to assume DeFi is now de-risked and due for a 2021 repeat.” Crypto intelligence platform Arkham recently reported that Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) platform purchased $50 million worth of DeFi coins, including Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), and Aave (AAVE). Taking note of WLFI’s purchases, Bluntz says he’s bullish on the decentralized stablecoin protocol Ethena (ENA), noting that traders are shorting the altcoin....

The SPX6900 price plunged over 11% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.6522 as of 5:47 a.m. EST as investors dump their holdings in the crypto on the market. With the steep drop, the SPX price pushed its weekly performance into the red. As a result, the altcoin is down more than 3% over the last 7 days. SPX6900 Price Forms A Bearish Channel 4-hour chart for SPX/USD (Source: GeckoTerminal ) The SPX6900 price dropped below the support level at $0.7327 and has since printed a series of lower lows and lower highs on the 4-hour chart, resulting in the formation of a negative price channel. Should this bearish trend continue, the crypto might soon lose the $0.6347 support to potentially plunge to as low as $0.5526 in the short term. On the other hand, the SPX6900 price rising above the upper barrier of the descending price channel could invalidate the bearish thesis. In this alternative scenario, the altcoin might try to reclaim the $0.7327 support. A 4-hour candle close above this p...
