Trump-Linked WLFI Climbs as Market Recovers – Next Stop $0.133 or $0.09?

Highlights:

• World Liberty Financial has fallen below $0.115 intraday resistance
• Failure at resistance could see WLFI retest $0.09 support
• Price weakness is likely to stem from the regulatory issues around the token

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is on a strong rebound today, even as most top 100 altcoins make marginal to no gains at all. When writing, World Liberty Finance was trading at $0.11, an increase of 11% in the day. Volumes have surged as well, up by 85.61% to stand at $216.9 million. This surge in trading volumes when the price is on a rebound points to increased investor interest in WLFI. The rebound is likely driven by the fact that the broader cryptocurrency market appears headed for a rebound. Multiple indicators point to such a scenario. 

Among them is the broader cryptocurrency market cap, hitting a level that analysts believe is a rebound level. At the same time, the maximum is trading at maximum fear, and prices tend to rebound once they hit such levels. The result is that as the broader market starts to show signs of an upward price rebalancing, WLFI is moving along with it. Besides, compared to most top 100 cryptocurrencies, World Liberty Financial has taken a bigger hit, which makes it even more oversold. 

Democrats Open Investigation Into WLFI Dealings

In the last 30 days, World Liberty Financial has dropped by 33%. Most of the drop happened in the past week when it lost over 10% of its value. The massive loss of value for WLFI, while linked to the broader market, can also be linked to internal issues. Recently, democrats opened an investigation into potential questionable foreign investments into the project. The issue is around an investment by an Emirati investor that holds 49%, who is believed to have links to the royal family in the UAE.

After the acquisition of the stake, the UAE was able to access high-end AI chips a few months later, chips that, prior to the deal, it was denied access to. This has raised concerns about a foreign entity leveraging WLFI for political purposes. As expected, anytime such a regulatory investigation comes up, the concerned cryptocurrency tends to go down. This explains why WLFI has recently taken a bigger hit, even though the overall market has been in a state of decline.

Rebound Linked to Broader Market and WLFI’s Links to A Sitting President

The intraday rebound is likely linked to the fact that, at current prices, investors don’t expect any to drop much further. The impression is that WLFI has already priced in the investigation news. Besides, Trump is still President, and investors believe this could protect WLFI from the adverse price action that happens when other cryptocurrencies face regulatory action. 

That’s because, unlike the governance model of most cryptocurrencies, the governance of WLFI is deeply intertwined with the Trump Family.  Some analysts also believe that WLFI has a real use case in the market that transcends any speculations around regulatory action. The primary argument for WLFI’s use case is that it is helping bridge DeFi with traditional financial services. This is happening through the USD1 stablecoin. Such a perception and the fact that the broader market is stabilizing could help World Liberty Financial recoup a significant portion of its lost value.

Technical Analysis – WLFI Fails At Intraday Resistance

After an attempted rally earlier in the day, World Liberty Financial appears to have lost momentum just below the $0.115 resistance. If bears take control, and with high volumes, WLFI could drop back to the intraday support of $0.09. 

However, if bulls take control and push Trump-linked WLFI through the $0.115 resistance, a rally to $0.133 could follow. Of these scenarios, a drop back to $0.09 support looks more likely. That’s because of the regulatory cloud hanging over WLFI and broader market weakness.
