Bitcoin Struggles For Direction Post-Trump Disappointment – What Next?

In a move that dashed high-flying expectations, US President Donald
J. Trump ended his first day in office without issuing any
crypto-related executive orders or referencing the much-touted
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve he had teased during the Bitcoin 2024
conference in Nashville. Bitcoin’s price, which had surged to
nearly $110,000 on hopes of a landmark announcement, retreated
swiftly once it became clear the inauguration address would offer
no explicit nod to digital assets. What Next For The Bitcoin Price?
Now, with BTC hovering in what analysts describe as no-man’s land,
the market looks to the White House for any indication that Trump’s
earlier pro-Bitcoin rhetoric might translate into action. Crypto
analyst CRG (@MacroCRG) encapsulated the uneasy sentiment on X ,
claiming that “crypto feeling a bit directionless” could quickly
change if Trump simply mentions Bitcoin. Related Reading: Analyst
Says Bitcoin Price Could Retest Substantially Below $100,000 If
This Level Fails CRG argued, “but all its gonna take is 1 mention
from Trump and it sends IMO. Trump’s team bought 9 figs of crypto
yday, won’t be long until they start blasting hopium.” Some
observers maintain that Bitcoin’s overarching technical indicators
remain favorable. Markus Thielen, a researcher at Matrixport,
commented on X that “since mid-November, Bitcoin has been trading
within a narrowing wedge,” stifled by conflicting signals—ranging
from higher inflation data to hopes of a supportive White House.

Thielen, Trump’s inauguration served as a catalyst for Bitcoin to
break out of that wedge, but whether this breakout can hold depends
on BTC maintaining support around the upper boundary. “Bitcoin is
now retesting the breakout level, which corresponds to the upper
boundary of the wedge. If Bitcoin holds above this key support, the
short-term outlook remains highly bullish, with the breakout
signaling renewed upward momentum,” Thielen writes. Renowned
analyst Rekt Capital (@rektcapital) pointed out on X that Bitcoin
managed to retest key levels, notably at $101,000. While the market
saw a harsh rejection from its range high, Rekt Capital emphasizes
that this retest of both the “red diagonal” and the “black Range
Low” is a strong sign that BTC might consolidate in the
$101,000-$106,000 corridor before potentially marching higher
again. Meanwhile, trader Crypto Chase (@Crypto_Chase) hinted at a
willingness to go long if Bitcoin dips to around $99,500. He noted:
“I’d take a long from 99.5K~ if offered. I think gray box needs to
hold for local bullishness and sweeping all the Trump leadup / news
PA makes sense. I’d also accept a sweep of the 97K low, but that’s
farthest it should go. Any good amount of time spent past 96-97K
and my plan / read is likely off. Inval low 90’s, aiming for new
ATH’s. 3R~ trade.” Despite Wednesday’s disappointment, many believe
the president’s pro-Bitcoin stance remains intact. David Bailey,
CEO of BTC Inc. and a key figure in Trump’s shift toward a more
Bitcoin and crypto-friendly position, took to X today, revealing:
“Got confirmation tonight that our EOs are among the first 200. I
have no idea what made it in, but good news cometh.” Bailey also
stated these include “EOs related to Bitcoin or crypto,” leaving
open the possibility of a sudden policy bombshell. Should such an
order materialize, markets could quickly pivot back into bullish
territory. For now, however, traders and investors remain in limbo,
awaiting that elusive official statement or executive order—from
the White House that might reignite Bitcoin’s momentum. At press
time, BTC traded at $103,182. Featured image created with DALL.E,
