Donald Trump Now Holds Ethereum Worth $1 MillionDonald Trump, the former President of the United States, has made headlines once again, but this time it's not about politics—it's about cryptocurrency. Recent financial disclosures have revealed that Trump holds between $1 million and $5 million in Ethereum ( CRYPTOCAP:ETH ), placing him among the prominent figures in the digital asset space. This revelation comes at a time when the crypto market is facing significant volatility, particularly for Ethereum, which is experiencing heavy selloffs and ETF outflows.
Trump’s Deepening Involvement in Crypto
The disclosure of Trump’s Ethereum holdings marks a significant shift in his financial strategy, particularly given his past criticisms of cryptocurrencies. Once dismissive of Bitcoin and other digital assets, Trump now appears to be embracing the crypto world, not just as an investor but as an active participant in the burgeoning market. His Ethereum ( CRYPTOCAP:ETH ) holdings, valued at up to $5 million, suggest a calculated move to diversify his wealth and capitalize on the growing influence of digital currencies.
But Trump's involvement doesn't stop at Ethereum. He has also earned millions through NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), a digital asset class that has exploded in popularity over the past few years. According to the financial disclosure, Trump has raked in over $7 million from NFT licensing deals, making him a significant player in the NFT market as well. His NFT projects, including the controversial Trump Digital Trading Cards, have generated over 15,808 ETH in trading volume on OpenSea, one of the largest NFT marketplaces.
The Crypto Influence of the Trump Family
Trump's foray into the crypto world isn't an isolated endeavor. His family, particularly Donald Trump Jr., has also shown a keen interest in digital assets. Trump Jr. recently launched a Telegram channel dedicated to cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi), which has quickly amassed over 11,000 members. This initiative, dubbed "The Defiant Ones," signals the Trump family's growing influence in the crypto space and their intention to leverage this new frontier for political and financial gain.
The timing of these revelations is particularly noteworthy as they coincide with Trump's ongoing campaign for a return to the White House. His deepening involvement in cryptocurrency could be seen as a strategic move to align himself with the rapidly growing number of crypto enthusiasts and investors, a demographic that has become increasingly influential in American politics.
Ethereum’s Tumultuous Moment
Trump’s significant Ethereum ( CRYPTOCAP:ETH ) holdings come at a time when the cryptocurrency is under intense market pressure. On August 15, spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $39.21 million, reflecting waning investor confidence. This was further exacerbated by a major whale selloff, where 2,978 ETH were dumped, adding to the bearish sentiment surrounding the digital asset.
Crypto analysts have issued warnings of a potential correction in Ethereum's price, with some predicting a drop below the crucial $2,000 support level. The combination of ETF outflows, whale selloffs, and technical indicators like the TD Sequential flashing sell signals all point to a challenging period ahead for Ethereum.
Political Implications and Market Impact
Trump’s crypto investments, particularly his substantial Ethereum holdings, add a new layer of intrigue to his political persona. His entry into the crypto space could resonate with younger, tech-savvy voters who view digital assets as the future of finance. Moreover, it positions him as a forward-thinking leader who is willing to embrace new technologies, a narrative that could play well in his presidential campaign.
However, Trump's crypto dealings could also attract scrutiny, especially from regulators who are increasingly focused on the digital asset market. The fact that Trump has quietly amassed a fortune in Ethereum while the broader market faces regulatory challenges and volatility could raise questions about his motives and the potential impact of his financial decisions on the market. Donald Trump is making his mark in the crypto world, and the implications could be far-reaching.
In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrency, Trump's actions may set a precedent for other political figures to follow, potentially intertwining the worlds of digital assets and political power in unprecedented ways.
ETH-D
ETHUSD - ChannelThis is the Weekly chart for ETHUSD
Drawing this curved channel it can be seen price is at the lower side of the channel
I assume ETH will take a lot of dominance from BTC this bull run and outperform massively, this along with altcoins aswell. It will be an altcoin bull run.
Imagine seeing a 20K ETH. Surreal.
TOTAL2 - Weekly RSI View (Repost)A largeee formation is becoming apparent on TOTAL2 and can be seen across to ETH's chart
I would call it a large W formation with what we are about to experience being the right hand of the W, where RSI can extend and stagger sideways as seen on the left hand of this W.
I have called the areas in green boxes very similar and expect the bulls to turn this RSI around promptly.
Very bullish on this Weekly chart for Altcoins.
Aug 15Overview:
Lord Jerome reported 227,000 jobless claims, slightly below the expected 234,000. Additionally, almost all other macroeconomic data points to a growing and improving economy. July U.S. retail sales were three times higher than anticipated, coming in at 1% versus the expected 0.3%, suggesting strengthening consumer confidence, which has risen above 0.7% for the first time since January 2023. Auto sales are also up. Are these newly unemployed Americans spending their savings? Unemployment has been rising since January 2023 and now sits at 4.3%.
The chances of a recession are decreasing, and CRYPTOCAP:BTC is rising.
Interest rate cuts are a tool for quantitative easing, typically applied when the economy isn’t growing and needs an injection of liquidity (M2 money supply). But if the economy is healthy, with spending on the rise and government spending contributing to GDP growth, rate cuts might not be the solution.
Now, think critically—if everything is relatively good (maybe not great yet), the economy is somewhat healthy, and the S&P 500 has been rallying since October 2023—why would you sharply cut rates? Perhaps two or three cuts by the end of the year, reducing rates by a total of 0.75%, at most.
For those expecting such a small rate change (a 13% decrease by the end of the year) to have a significant impact, they might be in for a rude awakening.
Alts Relative to BTC:
If CRYPTOCAP:BTC dropped by 1.92%, CRYPTOCAP:ETH declined by 3.34%. No significant divergence, except for NYSE:AR , which posted a thin green candle.
Bull Case:
All bears die.
Bear Case:
All bears don’t perish but remain very much alive.
Fear and Greed Index:
Lower, at 40.61%. Dangerously close to Fear territory.
W:
Forming another lone star/abandoned child-type candle. Where do you want to go next, Mr. Bear Market?
D:
August 15th ended in red, closing below the daily level of $58.2k. Bearish. On the 14th, we touched the BB MA and are now heading toward $52.2k.
4h:
No new divergences—just the old ones still playing out. On both August 14th at 8 a.m. and the 15th at noon, U.S. bears woke up and decided, “Nah, crypto ain’t sh*t.” Red candles followed. The last four green candles showed diminishing volume, not reaching the BB MA. Leave a comment if you know what that means—unless you’re a whale, in which case, just do your thing.
1h:
No divergences. The sell-off ended at 4:00 p.m. U.S. time, almost touching the freshly established weekly level of $55.9k set at the beginning of July.
Prediction:
In the next two weeks, the bottom falls out. When September arrives, big whales will return from vacation and send the market crashing down, with rate cuts providing little relief.
Opportunities:
CRYPTOCAP:SOL : Still at weekly resistance level. But keep in mind, it approached this level from the top, not the bottom. Although it has garnered a lot of attention this bull market, it doesn’t follow normal technical analysis rules.
AMEX:APT : As noted yesterday, starting at midnight, it began its descent, printing a nice -6.24%. Did you catch that?

Short-term view:
As discussed in my last few analyses, BTC remains in a gray area. Bullish above the top yellow resistance and bearish below the bottom purple support. Stocks are breaking out bullish, so I'd expect BTC to follow.
Very choppy market.

Aug 14Overview:
The market is currently at a stalemate, which isn’t surprising after last week’s 15% crash. Since 2009, CRYPTOCAP:BTC has only experienced a drop of more than 15% around 10 to 15 times. We’re receiving contradictory macroeconomic news: on one hand, predictions of a long-awaited recession in the U.S. are surfacing, with major corporations reporting diminishing returns and U.S. consumers already feeling the pinch, as grocery prices have jumped by 50-70%. On the other hand, Lord Jerome reports the year-over-year CPI at 2.9%, lower than the expected 3.0%.
BTC ETF flows reported $81 million in selling, indicating that ETF investors aren't interested in BTC at 58.5k. However, just two days earlier, there was a positive flow totaling $66 million.
Demand for NYSE:SUI via Grayscale has stalled, with a 20% decline from recent highs in the last two days, although it's still up 44% since the August 8th news. GETTEX:TAO , on the other hand, has only seen about one-sixth of that demand, rising just 7% to date. Is this the cost of not being listed on Coinbase?
Alts Relative to BTC:
No divergence observed. CRYPTOCAP:ETH , CRYPTOCAP:SOL , and AMEX:NEAR mirrored BTC’s correction of 5.22%, each declining by 6-7%.
Bull Case:
The S&P 500 continues to climb, nearing previous levels (only 3.81% away from its all-time high after a 9.44% drop). Jobless claims numbers came in lower than expected, signaling improving economic conditions and possibly taking a recession off the table. Global liquidity has stabilized over the last three days.
Bear Case:
None of the above factors support risky asset prices, and BTC loses its ETF demand support, potentially plummeting to 41.2-43.8k.
Fear and Greed Index:
42.9, decreasing and edging toward Fear territory—where long red candles and even longer wicks reside.
W:
Mid-range, in accumulation territory, curving downward. While last week’s crash candle ended green, this week has shown a lower high and may close below the opening, potentially turning red. Only 3.54% separates us from the weekly support level, which could be tested in the next four days. No divergence.
D:
On August 14th, BTC touched the BB MA and bounced down, closing in red and re-entering the previously established $60.2k - $58.2k daily range. However, on the 15th, it already broke out of that range and may close outside of it. If the 15th closes in red, this week could be in trouble, opening the door to a drop toward 56k.
4h:
After rejecting 61.7k, BTC crashed through the BB MA. This -5.5% correction was accompanied by a significant MACD divergence. To continue the existing trend, a bounce back up with bullish demand was needed, but no buyers stepped in, and the next 12 hours saw continued decline, currently trading slightly below the 58.2k daily level.
1h:
A red candle at 2am on August 15th showed a dangerous increase in volume compared to the previous two red candles. With U.S. bulls sleeping, there may be no support at this level, risking a free fall.
Prediction:
With the lack of support from Asian bulls, we are likely to fall below 58k, and only unexpectedly positive news from Jerome Powell might keep BTC within the daily range, above 58k.
Opportunities:
CRYPTOCAP:SOL : Dropped below the weekly support level of $146.3 and seems to be declining, solidifying it as a new resistance. Opportunity to short to $130 (7.94%).
AMEX:NEAR : Retreated from the weekly level of $4.39 and is on its way to $3.3 (19%).
NYSE:SUI : Rejected the weekly level of $1, with the next stop at $0.8 (-10%), which coincides with the BTC ETF demand level.
AMEX:APT : Rejected the weekly level.
NYSE:AR : Holding on by a thread above a 58% abyss to the BTC ETF level, with no intermediate stops.
NYSE:ENS : Expected to mirror ETH's performance, potentially doubling whatever CRYPTOCAP:ETH does.
Mistakes:
Yesterday’s 4h BTC divergence became apparent at noon (UTC-4, NY time) after a red candle appeared. As of now, at least 2.40% could have been captured.

ETH Update - 15.08.2024 / Long trade idea1d: got a reaction after liquidity withdrawal in the buyer's block order zone and came to the seller's imbalance.
Now rebalanced to the breaker imbalance zone and key level.
1h: here we move on the upward flow of orders.
Removed liquidity in the local breaker imbalance and left liquidity behind the key low.
Here I see something either after inversion on the order flow or after liquidity withdrawal from the key low!
ETH/USDT 4H chartHello everyone, I would like to invite you to a quick review of ETH/USDT, taking into account the 4-hour interval. As you can see, the price, despite the nice rebound, still remains below the downward trend line.
Moving on, we will move on to determining support and here the price is currently bouncing off the support at $2,427, then we have strong support at $2,204.
Looking the other way, you can see how the resistance at $2,805 rejected the sudden upward movement, only when it overcomes it will it move towards the resistance at $2,987, and further towards the very strong resistance at $3,237.
Etherium sell side view in 1HR timeframeif there is CHOCH in eth then there is important BOS LEVEL if eth crosses it then we might see a huge down trend
For sell view
1. Chart pattern
2. SUPPORT turned into Resistance
3. Reversal from 50% retracement area
For buy
1. choch then little bos
sellers get trapped then running to 3080
##BTC also showing weakness
ETH - Bullish Unless...Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈 As per my last analysis, attached on the chart, ETH rejected the $2000 support zone and surged by over 25%.
What's next?
As long as the bulls hold, a movement towards the $3000 - $3100 resistance zone would be expected.
📉 In parallel, if the last 4H low at $2600 is broken downward, a bearish movement towards the $2100 would be possible where we will be looking for new short-term longs.
Which scenario do you think is more likely to happen and why?
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

ETH - Massive Support Ahead!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈 After breaking below the $3000 round number, ETH dipped by over 30%.
Currently, ETH is hovering around a strong rejection zone as it is the intersection of the $2000 round number and support, and the lower red trendline.
🏹 The highlighted red circle is a strong rejecting area to expect the bulls to kick in from.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #ETH approaches the red circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
Which scenario do you think is more likely to happen and why?
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

ETHEREUM → A train can become a rocket. Key zone 2700 - 2800 ↑The market is buying back BINANCE:ETHUSDT after a big fall due to fear. Bulls kept the price below 2000 and now they are trying to keep it above 2500. The overall bullish backdrop is still in place.....
A very promising technical situation is forming on W1. If the price returns to the global sideways range, we will have good prerequisites for a rise to 4000 - 4800.
Fundamentally, everything is the same, the general background is bullish. The liquidation (strong downward movement) and the subsequent active buyback indicates that the market is free of unnecessary traders and the train can now move in the right direction, it remains to get to the key station before departure.
The key stations are the 2717 - 2817 area. If the bulls can overcome this resistance and consolidate above, thus forming a strong support area and an intermediate bottom, then the market will have an important and promising liquidity target above 4000.
Support levels: 2518, 2425, 2400
Resistance levels: 2717, 2817
The whales continue to buy the asset after a strong fall, despite the fact that the chart looks bearish, there are key prerequisites indicating that the big players are still bullish. The focus is on the key resistance at 2717. After Friday's test and pullback, the price is back to the level, which increases the chances of a breakout.
Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with ★ BINANCE:ETHUSD ;)
Regards R. Linda!
Aug.6-Aug.12(ETH)Weekly market recapCrypto market lose power after rebound. BTC had a significant decline for a period of time after the ETF was announced. But after 15 days, sufficient liquidity brought an increase that repaired the decline. It has been two weeks since the ETH ETF was listed. After excluding the impact of grayscale, we have seen that traditional funds are also flowing into the ETH ETF.
CPI data for July will be released on Wednesday. We believe that if CPI falls further, it will give risk assets such as BTC and US stocks an upward momentum. We do not believe that the recession started on August 2, when the employment data was released. Therefore, if the CPI data falls further, the market will not panic about recession, and will price further interest rate cuts.
We believe that a large amount of spot ETH being staked will increase volatility. When ETH is dumped, the volatility does amplify, but it is far less than other tokens during the rebound. This is not a good phenomenon. As we mentioned above, the ETH ETF has been listed for two weeks, and there is every reason to believe that the sell the news phenomenon is over. The bulls' performance has been disappointing.
Like BTC, we saw the emergence of whales when ETH dumped. The whale disappears after a day and does not continue to participate in trading. Judging from the ME indicator, ETH has entered a bearish trend, and the wavy area has further widened.
To sum up, we believe that ETH will remain fluctuating this week, and the probability of falling is greater than rising. We maintain our original resistance level 2800 and support level 2400.

ALTS that will SURVIVE 2024 - and BEYONDIn today's post I'd like to invite you to add the alts YOU think will survive, and why. Add in the comment section!
Incase you missed yesterdays post...
I remember the good 'ol days, when the amount of options you had was limited to one hand.
First there was Bitcoin. Then came ETH, LTC, XRP and BCH (Bitcoin Cash). And a few other's later came like Bitcoin Gold and CRV. But oh man, were those the days. Crypto felt oddly "safer" back then, despite mt gox and pyramid schemes running rampant. Because today - the enemy is actually in the camp...
New alts are being released every hour (probably more) and it's just the one airdrop to the next rug. Lot's of progress has been made in this space which is blockchain, but we're still not really seeing the original promise of Bitcoin being fulfilled (fast and affordable cross border payments, ) amongst others.
Today, it has become close to impossible to separate the crop from the cream in terms of coin accumulation. If you bought BTC two years ago, or ETH, or LTC - you'd currently be in profit. However, some alts don't even exist for a month after release date never the less a year or more.
So let's talk about which altcoins I believe have a future FOR SURE. Remember that this is a highly debatable point; but I am going to point out the few that I believe will survive (at least past year and possibly beyond).
👉1) Bitcoin
Bitcoin is not an altcoin, it is the original crypto. The KING. The first commandment and promise of a fair, open and transparent future on the blockchain. BTC's price may be overvalued occasionally, but it will always have the benefit of being first. And with so many institutional investors, I think it's a safe play for the foreseeable future.
👉 2) Ethereum
King of the alts, first of it's kind. Ethereum is the world's first smart contract platforms which remains the most popular choice among developers even today. Following Bitcoin's decentralized concept, Ethereum has become a leader in smart contract platforms and dApps. Eth is here to stay.
👉 3) Solana
Competitor now to Ethereum, SOL has previously surpassed ETH (not in price). With over 95 million transactions daily, Solana has become the fastest blockchain and recently surpassed Ethereum in Total Economic Value. Many devs prefer Solana, and I believe it will stick around for the foreseeable future.
👉4) Dogecoin
I hate how dependent Doge is on Elon Musk. But, for some reason, Mr Musk has a fascination with Doge and has promised many times to include it as a payment option on X (formerly Twitter). Even though it seems like a pie in the sky, something like that would significantly increase the value of Doge. I don't see it as a "forever" coin, but definitely on the list.
I think a key point to note here, is that back then, they (the founders) were doing something revolutionary. They were and are the titans of the industry. Today, anyone with GPT can create a functioning alt that "serves a purpose" or has "fundamental use case" in some way. It's true that AI is revolutionary, and I am very bullish on the concept of AI and the promise of automation for human kind. But this far, it hasn't been profitable, yet.
OpenAI makes losses and cryptoai is just leveraging off the larger AI, or the concept thereof... Sure, there are privately trained models, but at the current moment it takes a tremendous amount of resources (time, money, physical space) to do DL or Machine Learning, which if OpenAI cant make profitable... then neither can the cryptoai created by john, steve and bob.
10 Other ALTS that will probably make it past this year:
1) Shiba Inu (because people love it)
2) XRP (because many can't let go)
3) Cardano (because it has a cult following)
4) BNB (Binance supporters maybe?)
5) Chainlink (because oddly enough it's survived for this long)
You wouldn't catch me dead holding those 5, but still - I do believe they will survive for some time still.
Now, coins that I will actually buy and hold:
6) Kaspa (potentially a revolutionary alt)
7) Render (potentially an ai winner)
8) Monero (still the best privacy coin)
9) Sei (potentially a revolutionary alt)
10) Aave (still the best for borrowing and lending)
Don't miss the message here - you can still TRADE altcoins. There are good trading opportunities
and setups even for the worst alts. I know this because we trade them daily. But this post is not about trading opportunities - it's about the future, potentially the far future. Who will likely survive and why. Alts that may be worth accumulating an that probably won't rug in a month's time.
I hope you can take it for what it is intended to be!
