Prior to the launch of $MELANIA, buyers had FAR outweighed sellers in $TRUMP.
Leading into the Melania launch, there had been ~38,500 sellers for every ~13,300 buyers.
That's effectively ~3 sellers for every buyer in this market.

In the moments after the launch of $MELANIA, we saw seller volume FAR outweigh buying volume.
In 1 hour, there was $352 million of seller volume for just $245 million of buyer volume.
The ratio of buyers to sellers fell to just 1.3x which led to a massive crash in price.
