A 4.53 million whale withdrawal and the SEC’s decision to back off meme coin oversight have sent shockwaves through the $TRUMP market.

Key Notes

  • A whale withdrew $4.53M in TRUMP tokens from Binance amid a steep price decline.
  • SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce confirmed the agency won’t regulate meme coins like TRUMP.
  • Indicators show that TRUMP is bearish with oversold RSI and price hugging the lower Bollinger Band.

The Trump-backed meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP), is once again in the spotlight with a fresh wallet, as revealed by Onchain Lens, withdrawing 425,764 TRUMP tokens—valued at approximately $4.53 million—from Binance,

The transaction hints at either a strategic repositioning or an impending dump. This comes amid a shocking statement from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce , also known as “Crypto Mom” for her support of digital assets.

SEC Bows Out: “No Protection” for Meme Coins

In an interview at Bitcoin 2025 ,  Peirce confirmed the US Securities and Exchange Commission is washing its hands of meme coin oversight.

Peirce clarified that since the agency no longer classifies most meme coins, including TRUMP, as securities, investors should not expect any regulatory guidance or safety net.

“People, if you are expecting that there’s SEC protection around these, you should not expect that,” Peirce said. “Buy at your own risk.”

It is important to note that the Trump Organization and affiliated entities reportedly control 80% of the TRUMP token’s supply.

Critics, particularly Democratic lawmakers like Sen. Richard Blumenthal , warned of deepening ethical concerns, suggesting the coin may offer a backdoor for foreign and corporate interests to influence the presidency.

Price Action: Bleeding Value and Bearish Technicals

On the 4-hour chart , TRUMP has dropped significantly, now trading at $10.75. The Bollinger Bands (BB) indicate that the price is scraping along the lower band (currently around $10.58), signaling strong downward momentum and increased volatility.

The price is notably detached from the middle band (SMA 20 at $11.91), confirming that TRUMP is entrenched in bearish territory.

On the other hand, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) currently sits at 30.57, with previous dips brushing the oversold boundary at 21.56. This shows that TRUMP is nearing extreme oversold levels, which may trigger a temporary relief bounce.

If bearish sentiment persists, and no new catalyst emerges , TRUMP could revisit psychological support at $10, and potentially test the next liquidity zone around $9.20–$9.50, especially if selling pressure intensifies or the whale begins offloading tokens.

However, if the RSI drops further into oversold territory (sub-25) and volume spikes, a short-term bounce toward the mid-Bollinger band at $11.90 is possible. However, resistance near $12.30—a key breakdown zone—will likely cap any upward momentum.

US CPI Exceeds Expectations Again, Waller's Warning Comes True! Wall Street Focuses on Whether December Rate Hike Will Be 25 or 50 Basis Points; "New Fed News Agency": Stop-and-Go Strategy Faces Test

The "New Federal Reserve Newsletter" pointed out that before the release of the CPI, Waller suggested the possibility of a 50-basis-point rate hike in December, and so far, no other Fed officials have publicly responded. In addition to a single 50-basis-point hike, the Fed may also choose to signal consecutive rate hikes in December and January. Wall Street generally believes that inflationary pressures remain stubborn, further strengthening the case for a rate hike in December, though a 50-basis-point increase is not a consensus. The market is concerned about whether the Fed will extend the tightening cycle.

CPI Deals a Blow to US Bonds! 2-Year Yield Surges Over 20 Basis Points Intraday, Gold and Silver Plunge

After the release of the CPI, traders began to expect a lower likelihood of a 50 basis point rate hike in December; this year’s Federal Reserve voting member Logan stated that a faster pace of rate hikes may be needed this winter, with at least two more 25 basis point hikes required before pausing. Subsequently, the rise in U.S. Treasury yields continued to widen, with the 10-year yield climbing back above 5.0% and rising more than 10 basis points intraday; spot gold once fell over 3%, while spot silver at one point dropped more than 4%.
