Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. DJT have jumped thanks to news about the upcoming election.

The Influence of Supply and Demand
Market analysts recognize that notable events, like elections, can sway stock prices. However, they also see that short-term shifts in supply and demand play a significant role.
Some investors bought shares of Trump Media at about $53.50 in May. When prices dropped shortly after, they began to second-guess their decisions. Many vowed to sell but opted to wait until the stock returned to their initial purchase price. Now, as the stock has rebounded, these investors are placing sell orders to break even.
Sell Orders Affecting Price Movements
This influx of sell orders has formed a resistance level reminiscent of the resistance in May.
When stocks hit resistance levels, it’s common for them to reverse. This also ties back to investor psychology. Anxious sellers may worry that if they don’t sell soon, they will miss the opportunity to recoup their investments.
As these sellers adjust their prices downwards in a rush to sell, others follow suit. This collective action can trigger a downward trend, amplifying the stock’s decline.
Opportunities for Savvy Traders
Traders who recognize these psychological factors can see opportunities. They understand that feelings of regret and urgency among investors can reinforce resistance at previously significant price points and create situations ripe for profitable trading.
