A Bearish Trend With No Breaks

On the charts, DJT stock is flashing bright red signals. DJT stock is trading below its eight, 20, 50 and 200-day moving averages, reinforcing the bearish momentum.

The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) at $26.27, the 20-day SMA at $29.10, and the 50-day SMA at $33.08 all point to continued weakness.

With the 200-day SMA at $31.39, DJT remains in a firm downtrend, showing no signs of immediate reversal.

From Meme Hype To Market Reality

Despite early enthusiasm surrounding its SPAC merger, Trump Media is now grappling with harsh market realities. This remains a highly speculative play until the stock finds a floor and shows signs of stability.

At 70% off its peak, DJT may look like a bargain to some, but the technicals scream caution. The company reported a net loss of $400.9 million, largely driven by stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, while annual revenue dropped 12% to just $3.6 million.

To counter its financial struggles, Trump Media is pushing into fintech, launching Truth+ streaming, and selling Trump-branded products—but so far, investors aren't buying the turnaround story.

Florida Reincorporation

In a bid to cut costs and shield itself from legal risks, Trump Media may have plans to reincorporate in Florida. The move promises tax breaks and a friendlier regulatory environment, but with DJT's stock price in free fall, it remains to be seen whether this shift will be enough to restore investor confidence.
