US president Donald Trump is gearing up to host his second memecoin-holder exclusive event at his Mar-a-Lago state in Florida on April 25. Another Edition Of The Memecoin Black-Tie Gala Following the same pattern as his now famously May 22 “gala dinner”, that required roughly $148 million in cumulative token holdings for entry, $TRUMP saw a spike of as much as 10%, surpassing the $3 threshold hours after the team’s announcement of the event. SATURDAY, APRIL 25 AT MAR-A-LAGO! The Most Exclusive Crypto and Business Conference in the World & Gala Luncheon with PRESIDENT TRUMP and 18 other SUPERSTARS. Strictly Limited to only 297 attendees. Are You In? Register Here: https://t.co/MBo3UBrzje pic.twitter.com/CWOVNK1kbU — TrumpMeme (@GetTrumpMemes) March 12, 2026 The official site promises attendees the chance to “Meet and Learn from 18 of the World’s Most Influential SUPERSTARS,” reinforcing the token’s access‑and‑status pitch rather than a clear utility story. The previous dinner announcement triggered an intraday price spike of about 50–60% in $TRUMP as traders rushed to buy enough tokens to qualify, briefly lifting the token after an 80–88% drawdown from its launch highs. This led to some critics framing the first event as “crypto corruption” and “pay‑to‑play,” with protesters outside Trump National Golf Club calling out conflicts of interest and demanding the guest list.

To keep VIP bonuses between April 10 and April 26, wallets must maintain at least their snapshot balance. Balances that slip below can still get conference and luncheon access but lose VIP perks, nudging whales to lock in holdings through the event window. This slight change of strategy continues to encourage concentration and reduces circulating float into a known catalyst date, a setup that often fuels sharp but short‑lived memecoin squeezes. The CLARITY Act Still On The Horizon This new edition of the US President’s luncheon lands as Trump publicly backs the CLARITY Act, a long‑discussed crypto market‑structure bill expected to be reviewed in April, but unlikely to move out of the Senate Banking Committee before late 2026, according to Senator John Thune. The delay deepens the gray zone where political memecoin experiments like $TRUMP can thrive, while still drawing ethics and conflict‑of‑interest criticism. Related Reading: Binance Warning? Leverage Explodes As Crypto Tracks A World On Edge What This Memecoin Gala Means For Traders For traders, the April 10 snapshot to April 26 window is the key volatility band: structural incentives to hold or accumulate into the date could support a reflexive bid, but history around Trump events shows that insiders and early whales often sell into those spikes. Despite the buzz, $TRUMP trades around 3.9 dollars, down roughly 81% from the 15–$20 band during last year’s event window and nearly 97% below its $77 all‑time high from June 2025. With $TRUMP still 97% below its peak and heavily narrative‑driven, the luncheon looks more like a tactical headline trade than a fundamental reset, suggesting rallies into the event may again be better liquidity exits than long‑term entries for late‑arriving memecoin speculators.

Crypto analyst BitQuant has commented on why market participants are not buying Bitcoin and Ethereum despite the recent lows. This comes amid current market weakness, with the on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant warning of a deeper decline. Why Investors Are Not Buying The Bitcoin and Ethereum Dip In an X post, BitQuant noted that no one, except Saylor’s Strategy, is buying Bitcoin at $65,000 because of reports that the U.S. may attack Iran. He added that if that happens, many believe that BTC will drop to $50,000, which is why they are not buying. Ethereum is expected to drop further if BTC declines. Related Reading: Here’s All You Need To Know About The Bitcoin Price This Week The analyst noted that these market participants are forgetting that Bitcoin fell from $90,000 to $60,000 without any news or headlines, and that they consider this nuance unimportant. As such, he suggested that BTC and Ethereum could still see lower prices, whether or not the U.S. attacks Iran. However, BitQuant indicated that current prices do not matter in the long-term as Bitcoin and possibly Ethereum are likely to trade higher. He stated that many still don’t understand that BTC is a system and that they only see it as an asset. The analyst added that for many, BTC resembles a football match where they celebrate when there is a goal and leave the stadium when there isn’t. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader crypto market are currently facing downside pressure not only due to a potential U.S. attack on Iran but also due to the uncertainty around the Trump tariffs. The U.S. president over the weekend announced plans to hike the global tariff rate from 10% to 15% after the Supreme Court ruled against the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). BTC Could Still Drop Below $40,000 A CryptoQuant analysis recently suggested that Bitcoin could still drop below $40,000 to around $38,900, which is the long-term holders’ (LTHs) cost basis. The analysis also alluded to historical precedent, noting that each bear market has been characterized by BTC’s price breaking below its cost basis. This triggers a final capitulation phase marked by realized losses of around 20%. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The Ethereum Price Bottom With A Marked Path To $15,000 The analysis also noted that it is only after this phase that the market has been able to rebuild the necessary foundations for a trend reversal, with Bitcoin and Ethereum reaching new highs. Meanwhile, another CryptoQuant analysis mentioned that the Coinbase Premium Index shows limited signs of recovery. The index’s 30-minute simple moving average had briefly crossed above the zero level but failed to maintain the momentum into the new week. CryptoQuant stated that this lack of sustained recovery in the premium, despite the temporary uptick, is considered a potential trigger for the recent downward price action.

Crypto analyst Cryptollica has revealed that the Dogecoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crashed to its lowest level since its launch. The analyst also predicted that this might mark the bottom for the foremost meme coin, with a bullish reversal on the horizon. Dogecoin RSI Hits All-Time Low Since Launch In an X post, Cryptollica stated that the Dogecoin RSI has hit its lowest level in 12 years and is completely oversold. The analyst noted that, after removing all social sentiment and meme narratives, DOGE’s 2-week chart shows one of the most “severe structural anomalies currently visible in the market.” Related Reading: Ready For A 443% Dogecoin Move? The Meme Coin Just Touched A Historically Explosive Level Cryptollica’s chart also highlighted what marked the macro bottom for Dogecoin in previous cycles and how this may be the bottom for the meme coin in this cycle. The analyst noted that the DOGE price has now compressed to the exact structural baseline that precedes major macro expansions, suggesting a bullish reversal may be on the horizon. The analyst mentioned that this appears to be the “absolute oscillator floor” as the Dogecoin RSI is at an all-time low. Cryptollica alluded to the underlying momentum indicator, noting that the 2-week RSI has hit the 34 threshold. He added that the current downward momentum is mathematically weaker than it was during the 2015 bear market and the 2020 COVID crash. Meanwhile, selling pressure is completely exhausted. In another X post, Cryptollica highlighted a channel from 2021 up until now. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that Dogecoin could still rally to as high as $1.3, which is the top of the line. The midline target for the foremost meme coin is $0.3. The chart also suggested that DOGE could see a bullish reversal between now and July later this year. DOGE Bouncing From Oversold Level Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated in an X post that Dogecoin has just bounced from the RSI oversold zone and is heading back to the top. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could rebound to $0.12 as it bounces from this oversold zone. It is worth noting that the meme coin, however, continues to face selling pressure amid the crypto market sell-off due to the Trump tariffs. Related Reading: Dogecoin Divergence Formation At This Level Could Trigger Major Move In another X post, Trader Tardigrade noted that Dogecoin has formed a second base on the weekly chart. A pump followed base 1, and he again expects another pump to follow base 2. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could first rally to $0.4 between now and July, then see a corrective move before it rallies to $1 by next year. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09116, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Kamran has raised the possibility of a 443% Dogecoin rally, providing a bullish outlook for the meme coin. This came as he noted that the meme coin has dropped to a historical macro support that has triggered explosive rallies in the past. Dogecoin Eyes 443% Rally As The Meme Coin Reaches Macro Support In an X post, Kamran shared an accompanying chart that showed that Dogecoin could rally 443% from its current level and climb above $0.45. He noted that DOGE is back at the $0.10 macro support, which is a level that has triggered exposive rallies before, making it a high-risk, high-reward zone to watch. Crypto analyst Crypto Patel also recently highlighted this macro support level as a good buy-the-dip opportunity. He urged investors to slowly accumulate if Dogecoin drops to between $0.06 and $0.08, as they prepare for a potential rally to between $1 and $2, which would mark new all-time highs (ATHs) for the foremost meme coin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Divergence Formation At This Level Could Trigger Major Move In the meantime, Dogecoin is at risk of a further decline as the broader crypto market, led by Bitcoin, crashes. Crypto prices have dropped in the last 24 hours on the back of new Trump tariffs, with the U.S. president announcing plans to increase the global tariff rate to 15% from 10%. CoinGlass data shows that most crypto traders are currently more bearish than bullish on Dogecoin, with the long/short ratio at 0.8. Meanwhile, there has been a notable surge in activity in DOGE’s derivatives market. Trading volume has spiked by more than 40%, reaching $1.56 billion, while options trading volume and open interest have surged by 22% and 42%, respectively. DOGE’s Momentum Is Weak At The Moment In an X post, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that Dogecoin is holding a key trendline, but that momentum is weak. He noted that DOGE has tested the trendline for 6 consecutive daily candles and is still trying to break below it. For now, the meme coin is still holding above the descending trendline, and the structure remains bullish. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Can Still Reach $1, But It May Not Be Soon, Analyst Explains Why Trader Tardigrade further remarked that Dogecoin’s price action looks to be running on fumes and that the price needs genuine buyers for the breakout to be legitimate. He urged market participants to watch for a volume spike and conviction candles. However, until then, the analyst stated that it is “hopeful thinking” as momentum remains weak. His accompanying chart showed that the foremost meme coin could rally to as high as $0.14 if it holds above this trendline. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09275, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
