Jan 20, 2025 — Trump took the oath and CT called it the start of a crypto golden age. The crowd cheered. The charts bled
Let’s run the numbers. $10k in each major on that day:
$BTC -38.7% to $6126. $ETH -46.2% to $5380. $XRP -57.3%. $SOL -74.4%.
Alts got buried: $DOGE -78.7%, $AVAX -82%, $ADA -83%, $DOT -86%, $SUI -86%, $ENA -92%, $APT -93%.
Memes were worse. $TRUMP -97.7%, $MELANIA -99.5%. Practically zero
This wasn’t a dip. It was an institutional sweep. The “Trump bull” was bait. Whales didn’t buy the hype, they sold into it. Every sector collapsed together. Politics can’t override macro or crypto cycles.
The lesson is in the red candles: emotion lies, price doesn’t 🔥 Chasing the inauguration narrative bought you a ticket down, not to the moon. Only shorts and cash survived.
Never FOMO on politics. The market doesn’t care who’s president. It only cares where the liquidity is. 📉
