The market's reaction to Justin Sun's tweet had immediate trading implications. The price surge of 13.33% within 15 minutes led to increased volatility, with the TRX/USDT pair's 1-hour volatility rising from 2% to 5% (Source: TradingView, January 22, 2025, 10:15 AM UTC). This volatility triggered stop-loss orders, further contributing to the price movement. The increased trading volume on Binance and Huobi suggested strong market interest, with the TRX/BTC pair's trading volume doubling, indicating a shift towards trading TRX against Bitcoin (Source: Binance, January 22, 2025, 10:15 AM UTC).
