Neutral
Di Trump-Musk political wahala don push big increase for trading activity and wahala for prediction markets and tokens like TRUMP and DOGE, but real price movement no too big so far. News dey show these tokens as speculative way to track political risk, and although trading volume and involvement don increase, no clear bullish or bearish trend don show for these tokens. The uncertainty about long term things (like Trump impeachment or new party wey fit form) dey make traders dey hedge, but immediate price impact still small and mainly based on sentiment. This one na normal for prediction market events: unless political or regulatory change come, direct effect on token price no too last and no get strong direction.
