Since the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the symbols based on him have suffered heavy losses. But most of them – including MAGA, TRUMP, and TREMP – have appeared to be holding up somewhat, but still negative.

MAGA (MAGA), Trump’s second-largest token, is down 6.5% — having lost 32% so far in the past week. MAGA’s trading session at $0.00006116 has already shown some potential support at $0.045, where it could still attract investors if the price stays near the bottom.
Trump’s largest token, MAGA, also saw a significant drop, down 12% to $2.12, well below its all-time high of $17.07. However, for some early investors, this is making them very profitable. The TRUMP price chart gives some reason to believe that the token will bottom out at $1.2. However, it could drop further to $0.40-0.70, at which point stronger support will step in and attempt to recover.
Meanwhile, Doland Tremp (TREMP) is the third-largest Trump-linked coin. Like the others, it has seemed a bit more stable. TREMP is down just 3% in the last 24 hours and at $0.1231, it is trading near a strong support area that has been tested multiple times in the past month, which could mean a recovery path.
