Melania Trump’s Documentary is Coming Out This Week – Will TRUMP Coins Rally?
Crypto markets often react less to fundamentals and more to attention. When narratives peak, price follows only if volume and positioning confirm it. With Melania Trump’s documentary set to release on January 30, traders are watching whether hype can translate into sustained demand for MELANIA and TRUMP tokens — or whether both risk fading once attention peaks.
So far, price action for both these Solana-native tokens shows early positioning, not full conviction. The charts, volume data, and on-chain signals suggest both tokens are at decision points, where sentiment alone may not be enough.
MELANIA Price Analysis: Bullish Structure Forms, But Volume Still Lags
On the daily chart, the MELANIA price is forming a cup-and-handle pattern, a structure that often signals continuation higher when confirmed. The rounded base developed through December, followed by a short consolidation that shaped the handle. Recently, price attempted to break higher from that handle, signaling early bullish intent.
However, the breakout attempt has been weak, considering that the Melania Meme token price has been trading relatively flat over the past seven days.
The neckline of this structure is slightly downward-sloping, which makes confirmation more difficult. The MELANIA price attempted a breakout above the neckline on January 24 but failed. The reason was not price rejection alone — it was a lack of volume.

From a pure chart perspective, the measured move from the cup projects a potential 111% upside. But without volume expansion, that projection remains theoretical.
Volume Confirms the Weak Spot
DEX trading volume highlights the problem clearly. MELANIA’s Ethereum DEX activity has been largely muted for weeks, with one notable spike on January 19, when volume briefly surged before fading again. Outside that session, participation remains thin.
So, neither DEX nor CEX volume patterns align with a breakout move yet.
Low DEX and CEX volume matter because MELANIA is a hype-driven token. These coins require consistent inflows to sustain trends. Right now, that inflow is intermittent.
This explains why price strength has stalled even as the pattern looks constructive.
Sentiment Rose First — Then Faded
Social sentiment provides more context. Positive sentiment for MELANIA peaked on January 20, reaching a score near 4.0, the highest level since late October. Historically, similar sentiment spikes have preceded price rallies, but with a lag.
For example, sentiment peaked near 4.95 in late October, and price followed with a rally toward $0.20 by mid-November. That pattern suggests sentiment often leads price — but only if volume follows.
This time, sentiment has already cooled. Current readings are closer to 1.85, well below the January peak.
With the documentary approaching, the lack of renewed sentiment acceleration is a warning sign. If hype was going to front-run the event aggressively, sentiment would likely already be climbing.
Whales Are Buying, But Not Aggressively
On-chain data adds nuance. Over the past seven days, MELANIA whales increased their holdings by roughly 9.7%, while exchange balances declined slightly. This suggests early positioning rather than late-stage FOMO.
That said, the scale matters. Accumulation is present, but it is not explosive. Whales appear interested, but they are not forcing a breakout.
Key Melania Price Levels That Decide the Trend
For MELANIA, structure matters more with these key price levels to take note of:
- Bullish confirmation requires a clean daily close above $0.190, with volume expanding.
- Above that level, upside toward $0.298 becomes structurally valid, following the breakout projection.
- If the MELANIA price falls below $0.141, the cup-and-handle structure weakens.
- A drop below $0.098 would fully invalidate the setup and signal a sell-the-news risk.
Right now, the MELANIA price sits in the middle. The structure is alive, but unsupported by volume.
That sets the stage for the next question. If the first lady token needs hype, sentiment, and volume to align, does TRUMP show similar or stronger signals — or is capital choosing sides within the same narrative?
TRUMP Price Analysis: Stronger Whale Interest, Same Volume Problem
TRUMP’s chart tells a different but related story. The Official Trump price is trading inside a falling wedge, a structure that often moves higher once the upper trendline breaks. From a technical perspective, TRUMP is closer to triggering a confirmed breakout than MELANIA. Yet, as compared to MELANIA’s range bounce pricing, the TRUMP price is down almost 3%, week-on-week.
The measured move from the wedge points to a potential 56% upside if momentum builds.
Whale Activity Is Stronger Than MELANIA
On-chain data shows a notable difference between the two tokens. TRUMP whales increased holdings by over 17% in the past week, nearly double MELANIA’s accumulation rate.
This suggests larger players are positioning more confidently in TRUMP, likely because of its stronger social dominance and broader narrative reach.
TRUMP’s social dominance sits at 0.39% as opposed to MELANIA’s 0.006%. One reason why whales could be adding more of the former.
DEX Activity Shows Participation Is Fading
Despite whale accumulation, DEX data reveals declining retail engagement, similar to MELANIA. TRUMP’s DEX volume peaked on January 3, reaching over $157 million in daily volume. Since then, activity has collapsed to roughly $7.5 million, a drop of more than 95%.
Average trade size and number of traders have both trended lower, confirming that recent price stability is not driven by fresh demand.
This mirrors MELANIA’s issue: structure exists, but follow-through does not.
The TRUMP Price Level That Matters Most
For that move to activate, TRUMP needs a clean close above $5.15. That level breaks the wedge resistance and flips the market structure bullish.
If achieved, follow-through toward $7.38 becomes realistic.
On the downside, risk is clearly defined:
- $4.64 has acted as key TRUMP price support since the October breakdown.
- A decisive loss of $4.63 would weaken the bullish structure.
Correlation Ties MELANIA And TRUMP Together
The final piece is correlation.
Over the long term, MELANIA and TRUMP have shown a positive correlation of 0.88, meaning price action in one often influences the other. Trump-related social dominance also remains far higher than MELANIA’s, which explains why whale interest is stronger in TRUMP.
This relationship matters. If MELANIA sees a volume-backed breakout tied to documentary hype, TRUMP is statistically likely to benefit. The reverse is also true.
But correlation does not create volume. It only transfers momentum once it exists.
However, both these coins are hardly correlated with BTC, with MELANIA even showing long-term negative correlation. Therefore, if BTC corrects, at least MELANIA might get a positive boost.
Both tokens are set up structurally. MELANIA has a bullish pattern but weak participation. TRUMP has stronger whale backing but fading retail activity, courtesy of falling DEX trades.
For either rally to happen, volume must arrive before or during the documentary release, not after. Otherwise, both risk short-lived spikes followed by exhaustion.
