Trump’s resilience boosts cryptocurrency market
The cryptocurrency market started the summer following the old investor adage of “sell in May and go away,” ushering in the typical summer lull. However, that changed dramatically last weekend with an assassination attempt on former President Trump. Despite being struck by a sniper’s bullet during his speech, Trump quickly stood up with the help of the Secret Service, raised his fist, and showed the crowd that he was okay, demonstrating determination and bravery. This genuine display during a terrifying moment, immortalized in an iconic photo, may have made the future outcome of the election more predictable.
