The attack on Donald Trump last Saturday was ultimately foiled which significantly boosted the re-election chances of the former US president. With Trump projecting himself as the pro-crypto candidate Bitcoin and the broader crypto market registered a strong rally.
During the last weekend, the MAGA (TRUMP) price shot up by a staggering 60% shooting up all the way above $10. However, following the profit booking by the whale, the meme coin has corrected nearly 25% from the top. On the weekly chart, MAGA still trades at a premium of 42% with a market cap of $334 million.
Interestingly, despite this attack, Donald Trump still remains committed to attending the Bitcoin 2024 Conference scheduled in the last week of July.
