Is Trump dictating the market?

[Mrbluntzy]

It was already expected by so many investors who were anxious and lying in wait for the news to be released and when the news of that federal reserve came up, it drives the price up dues to more buys. This is just manipulations and the correctional movement should also be expected later or now because the upward moment seem to me resting already, if the price doesn't continue the uptrend, it will go down to the last week low.

Trump have a huge influence of the market. Being the president of the world's biggest economy and the country where Satasho is a citizen is something that should influence the crypto market because his decision and policy can affect so many companies and their businesses. However, I will not say that Trump dictates the market, instead it is right to say that he influence the market in a great way so much that whenever he make any major pronouncement, the market respond accordingly. This is just like influencing the market but definitely not dictating it.

No doubt, Donald Trump have huge influence for cryptocurrency market and latest his tweet success make bitcoin going up significant and some coins mention in his tweet break out more than 20%. But have bad side from huge influence of Donald Trump when tweeting about cryptocurrency few hours later after his tweet make bitcoin and altcoin large correction.
Many trader or investor have huge respond from Donald Trump as his power become US president and all tweet linked with cryptocurrency easily make bitcoin and altcoin will raise to higher price or going down to lower price.

For few days later seems Donald Trump will make important announcement about cryptocurrency and believing huge influence will make bitcoin get raise up or down.

If we continue to react to every news this way, we would definitely be selling ourselves into the hands of these big guys to manipulate us as much as they want. With the way things are going, yes, Trump has some influence over the market.

But don't forget that they're traders? traders are looking for short term gains, hence they don't mind to buy and sell based on the current news.

Trump might manipulate the market, but some people are getting this as their benefit because they can more than what they should be. Imagine if someone bought Cardano when the price was $0.6 and after a day the price rose to $1.1, you're almost double your money less than 24 hours.

Many people do not want to accept the fact that someone can actually influence the price of bitcoin. These are the same set of people who keep taking advantage of all these manipulations yet they still claim that it has nothing to with any influence from a public figure, not even Trump.

As long as there are people to react to every news on the internet, the big guys will keep manipulating the market. Just as I have said before, as long as we keep behaving this way, this guys won't stop influencing the system.

Every investor is waiting for a positive news that wil boost the market andi hope trump don't over do things because we all know how trump behaves sometimes and me in power always have one people which is they only know them self.

And even when it comes to coin selection am wondering the kind decision trump will make andthfact that he will one-way or the other try to control the price of Bitcoin, all we can do now isn't wait and see the outcome and what trump will eventually do.

If this trend continues, it seems like the market is reacting directly to whatever Trump says which could mean his influence is stronger than we thought when it comes to crypto.

What do you guys think? Is my observation valid, or am I just overthinking it?

With what's happening right now, that seems the case.

Trump winning the election in November = the market pumped
Trump telling to impose tariffs = the market dumped
Trump said that other altcoins will be added as US strategic reserve = the market pumped
... and many more in the future for sure.

The last time that this kind of thing happened was when Elon Musk is promoting DOGE, and it created a domino effect towards the whole market. Trump has the capability to use his influence to manipulate the market, and there's nobody that can stop him. This might be a bad thing, but the best thing that we can do as an investor is to take advantage of what he's saying. I will say if you want to take maximize your gains, wait for the news, and always, always have some spare money to use for buying.

Many has saw it as well not only you, but there's nothing that we can do about it since he has the power to do it. If you're a trader, you can maximize your gains through Trump for sure.

[Ucy]

Well, you could dictate the market if you have lots of real Influences, Intelligence or Light (from GOD). I think he has lots of it. And you know this when he's making right or intelligent decisions. A decision that is Bitcoin or crypto related can easily move the price.
So if the announcement really was what moved the price, I expect what was announced to be true and something that would be done right.  

I think a combination of factors might have caused the price to shoot up. The feelings four days or so ago was really bearish, and you would needs lots of efforts or contributions to get the price out of the bearish feelings.
The announcement was strong enough, but the price was still below 100,000. So, it's likely that the bear was really strong and end up weakening the impact the contributions would have made.

[Z-tight]

Trump isn't dictating the market, this isn't about Trump, it is about weak hands who are quick to sell at every slight inconvenience and buy as soon as they feel they might miss out, so when Trump made the news about strategic reserve, they saw the possibility of the price rising and they went it to buy more.

Didn't the same thing happen with Elon Musk, there was a time he had some influence on the market because of the said weak hands, everyone seems to have forgotten that because the influence is not so strong anymore.

This was how some institutional investors were influencing the market until the market got used to them. For now, the US is the centre of the crypto business, and Donald Trump's promise to make the US the crypto capital of the world is still fresh in the media; it wouldn't take too much time, and he would lose the influence he has in the market.

Trump isn't dictating the market, this isn't about Trump, it is about weak hands who are quick to sell at every slight inconvenience and buy as soon as they feel they might miss out, so when Trump made the news about strategic reserve, they saw the possibility of the price rising and they went it to buy more.

If Donald Trump's pronouncements can make weak hands sell off massively, then he has influence over the market. I know people who are depending solely on Trump's moves for them to invest.

Yes it is about the weak hands, infact most of the market poor situation is more or all about the weak hands who are selling off, but in this case we can't fail to identify the fact that Trump has a part to play in all of this.
I have said it and I will repeat it. We are now allowing politicians and political events to detect what happens in Crypto-currency. Many people at some point last year were bullish all because of the possibility of Donald Trump winning and the effect and his actions are still playing a role in the market movement.

[OgNasty]

I think at this moment in time Donald Trump has more eyes on him than other people due to his power in establishing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve.  I also think that he has put people in positions that have an interest in pushing coins other than Bitcoin, so paying attention to what coins they are trying to push into ownership by the United States is probably a good idea for traders.  I personally don't think what Trump is doing is totally right, but it's happening.  Pay attention.  This could have major long term effects.

[DaNNy001]

I mean, just look at what happened, when he announced the tariff, Bitcoin dumped hard because people speculated that it would cause inflation, limiting investment capacity. We saw a major sell-off for days. Then, last night, Trump suddenly posted about crypto becoming part of the U.S. national reserve, and Bitcoin instantly bounced back like nothing happened.

If this trend continues, it seems like the market is reacting directly to whatever Trump says which could mean his influence is stronger than we thought when it comes to crypto.

What do you guys think? Is my observation valid, or am I just overthinking it?

This is exactly what I was trying to say with the topic I created in the beginners and help board DONALD ALTCOIN HYPE because so many person are drawn to buying coins when an influential person speak about a particular one I mean we all saw what when he announced the launched of his coins and how it pumped so high and also same with his wife but in the end MASSIVE DIP was the era of the day.

His influence on the market started from when he won the election and the market started to rise, that was when I knew that Donald Trump was going to be the new face of the market. Every bull market, the markets always looks for someone that will be the face of the cryptocurrency market that anything that they says will be taken with very seriousness and be acted upon like they are the god of the market. The last bull market was Elon musk making every move to rise the market with every tweets that he wrote and now it is the biggest president in the world which is very bullish but we should limit our expectations as the same way he is making the market to rise, that is the same power that he has to make the market to fall.

[Japinat]

What do you guys think? Is my observation valid, or am I just overthinking it?

We can't really ignore the words that come out of his mouth. Although we can't be certain about it, still we notice the impact is huge. This means that it triggers influence on the mindset of the people, and whatever he says could manipulate the market.

If this continues, soon the US will take control of Bitcoin even if we think it is decentralized. In fact, it has already shown some sort of manipulation; how much more if they invest in Bitcoin? Well, this is just my assumption, but it can be right since it has been happening already.

I do not believe in one person. By one person, I do not believe that one that one person has the power to cause an upward shift or downward shift in the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is above the control of one person. There are numerous factors, macro and micro economics at play. Don't ask me to explain as I don't know how, but I just know there is. Trump's comment and bitcoin's upwards price movement is just a coincedence. Finally, if one person has the power to cause an upward shift or downward shift in the price of bitcoin, then bitcoin is FUCKED. What happens when he is having a bad day and makes a comment about bitcoin. You get it now.

Yes, I also agree with you because only one Donald Trump does not have the power to control Bitcoin. If Bitcoin was controlled by Donald Trump's words, then Bitcoin would have been destroyed much earlier. Till date, no one has been able to give a correct definition of Bitcoin price and Bitcoin movement. According to some experienced people, Donald Trump is creating a fraud network with the currency. He is stealing millions of dollars from people by launching one main coin at a time. And Donald Trump is a business person, his attitude will always be about business. So I would say, do not listen to nonsense and try your own way.

and heck ill say it now
even without knowing what tweet or social post will say.. there will be a ATH event in 2029

and we have yet to see 2025's proper ATH, and its not due until q3-q4 2025
and no i didnt get my info from some social drama queen on social media.

Yes Franky, you are correct.  But you are including too much logic and too little fairy tale or crystal ball prediction in your reply.  It looks boring to the regular reader.  You need to create an X account and start telling everybody how you were sent by Divinity to spread awareness and the word of Bitcoin coming to another All Time High in 2029.  Only then will people be impressed.

If logic was a Cryptocurrency, it would be the most undervalued on the market because it is becoming scarcer yet people value it less than ever.

Since when does God influence the Cryptocurrency market?  It makes no sense.

Totally a manipulation that we're getting here.

Looking at the drop right now seems not optimistic for most enthusiasts and gives that thought that Trump is manipulating everything.

But IMHO, it's not really him and there is some kind of force or hands that are behind him that dictates what to do. Anyway, this is going nowhere for Bitcoin because it's only designed to go one way, upwards.

Its because market is reacting base on what Trump saying and this is bad reaction since those powerful people might abuse it then will try to do more manipulative actions to benefit from it.

Hopefully people will stop thinking about crazy things and focus on their own investment. Since if they always get hype and panic with the news they release then provably that we will see a bad future of market under this influential people. Bitcoin is a strong asset and hopefully people would ever realize that no one can manipulate it if people will just put their trust on Bitcoin and they will not bother to pay attention with crazy thoughts of those skeptical dudes.

As long as they can siphon money from the market, they'd do that.

But I don't think that they all have the time to do that. They'll soon gonna see that they might be able to manipulate it at times.

It won't be with their hands forever. That's all I think they are thinking about and that's why they're trying to do what's necessary while they have time.

[Darker45]

Not really dictating, but Trump is indeed influencing the market big time. He's a big figure in the global stage. His words matter a lot. But this time around, it's shadier than just merely making pronouncements. Obviously, there's somebody making money out of it. Whether it's him or another family member or friends or business partners, this is all part of the script.

Somebody opened a 50x leverage long position. Shortly thereafter Trump made the statement. The trader then closed his/her position and left with quick and easy millions. He/she's probably not alone, but it seems it was an intentional pump and dump for certain personalities within Trump's inner circle, for them to make easy money. That's obvious manipulation. Perhaps that's conflict of interest, too.

Unfortunately, however, this is a free market. It's just sad that Bitcoin has somehow become a financial toy for the rich and powerful fiat people.

[Solosanz]

if you think bitcoin has no underlying cost bases of economics and is just a charade of social drama speculation.. then you dont understand bitcoin economics

I do know, the cost of mining Bitcoin should be the underlying cost of Bitcoin, which mean Bitcoin price technically should be at least same or higher than the cost. Halving event will reduce the reward for miners.

But the reason behind ATH was purely a speculation, most people tend to believe in something, example looking at three previous ATH happened in Q4, they will believe the ATH will happen in Q4 again.

if the only notifications you get are trump related.. so you infer any notification you get and then seeing a price change must mean cause-effect.. then please realise your limited notification list is the problem. your limited knowledge of other bitcoin economic factors at play is the problem

Look, Bitcoin price is down today, I've said this before. I might be lucky, but this is another proof where a news that has no correlation with Bitcoin, can affect Bitcoin.

There was a news that Trump will impose new tariff to be launch tomorrow, we can expect tomorrow will dump https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-says-mexico-canada-tariffs-take-effect-march-4-2025-02-27/

kinda funny that people(like you) then said the 2021ATH was purely elsalvador

I talk about the short term pump and dump, not the ATH.

and we have yet to see 2025's proper ATH, and its not due until q3-q4 2025

I actually know the peak of the bull run will happen in Q4.
