Bitcoin risks 2018-style crash if 200-week EMA breaks, warns analyst

US President Donald Trump namesake meme coins have collapsed, leaving many 
small holders deep in the red. Prices that once drew crowds and headlines have 
fallen back to earth with blunt force. Related Reading: XRP Flashes Rare On- 
Chain Signal That Once Preceded 114% Gains Reports say the two tokens tied to 
the Trump brand &#8211; TRUMP and MELANIA coins &#8211; plunged from their highs by 
roughly 92% and nearly 99%, and an estimated $4.3 billion of retail money 
evaporated in the rout. Trump Meme Coins: Rapid Collapse According to on-chain 
trackers and market reports, a small set of early wallets captured large gains 
before prices nosedived. Trades and transfers show that insiders moved sizable 
amounts into stable assets while later buyers were left holding tokens as 
liquidity thinned. Some analysts point to token design and one-sided liquidity 
moves as the technical side that made fast exits possible for those close to 
launch. HUGE: The $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoin carnage is even worse than we

Wins Reports note that token rules and the way liquidity was set up created a 
structural advantage for early participants. When supply was unlocked, selling 
pressure mounted. Locked allocations that only release over time add another 
layer: future unlocks could push prices down further as those tokens hit the 
market. On paper, the launches had flashy names and big promises; in practice, 
many of the mechanics reportedly favored a handful of insiders. Trump

CryptoRank.io (@CryptoRank_io) February 20, 2026 Market Reaction And Legal 
Questions Based on reports from multiple crypto outlets, voices across the 
space are calling for closer scrutiny. Regulators in several countries have 
been asked to look at whether marketing and token economics misled ordinary 
buyers. Commentators argue that when projects linked to public figures move 
that much money, the mix of celebrity influence and speculative appetite 
becomes especially risky. Community And Social Fallout Social channels lit up 
as losses mounted. Some communities turned on the teams behind the tokens, 
accusing them of running plans that rewarded early actors. Others defended 
buyers, saying responsibility sits with anyone who chose to put money into 
volatile, hype-driven assets. Either way, trust in celebrity-branded tokens 
took a hit. Related Reading: Instant XRP Rewards: Japan-Based Financial Group 
Rolls Out Tokenized Bonds Reports say market makers and some exchanges are 
reacting by tightening listings and flagging projects with similar tokenomics. 
A number of wallets flagged as insiders still hold tokens that could be sold 
later, and that possibility keeps pressure on price. At the same time, some 
traders are scanning on-chain flows, hunting for bounce opportunities among 
the wreckage. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
