Crypto Markets on Edge

👋 Hey Crypto Enthusiasts! Thoday, we break down the U.S. election's impact on crypto, prediction market trends, and Bitcoin's future price outlook. Let’s dive in!

🗳️ The U.S. presidential election on November 5 is front and center, and it’s adding a dose of suspense to the crypto world. Bitcoin has been holding just under $70,000, but big changes could be coming.

• Analysts at Bernstein, a respected research and brokerage firm, believe that a Trump victory, seen as a pro-crypto outcome might push Bitcoin to $80,000-$90,000 by inauguration day.
  

• Meanwhile, a Harris win could lead to a short-term drop to $50,000 before any recovery, as her approach to crypto has been less enthusiastic compared to Trump’s.

Despite these potential swings, Bernstein keeps an ambitious price target of $200,000 by the end of 2025, highlighting that Bitcoin’s upward path is far from over.

💡 Prediction markets like Polymarket are buzzing with activity, with $3.1 billion already bet on the outcome of the U.S. election. On these platforms, Trump currently holds a 60.5% chance of winning. This stands in contrast to mainstream media polls, where Harris holds a slight 1% lead. The difference between these betting odds and traditional polls makes the situation even more intriguing.

Historically, Bitcoin's reaction to political uncertainty has varied. While some investors might view it as a safe place to store value, it can also dip during widespread uncertainty as people move to more stable assets. This makes the upcoming election a potential source of significant market shifts for Bitcoin.

📉 But it’s not just politics keeping investors alert. Thursday’s jobless claims data and the Federal Reserve’s potential rate cut are also in focus.

If the Fed cuts rates, it could drive more interest in assets like Bitcoin. This rate decision comes at a critical time, adding more pressure to the crypto market as traders watch for signs of how it might shift demand.

Overall, with the U.S. election, economic updates, and potential policy changes all converging, the next few days could be crucial for crypto.

Election Bias on X

The discussions surrounding the election on X have been interesting, particularly within the crypto community.

• Due to Trump's pro-crypto stance, he currently holds the lead as the favored candidate among crypto traders.

Recently, Trump made headlines by stating, "Bitcoin is not threatening the dollar, the behavior of the current US government is really threatening the dollar."

Additionally, he has promised to dismiss SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has been known for his anti-crypto stance and for taking legal action against various projects.

Despite who wins the election, investors remain confident that Bitcoin will reach its $100,000 milestone.

While a victory by Kamala Harris might cause some delays in achieving this goal, traders generally believe it is inevitable.

Overall, Trump remains the preferred choice among crypto investors.

DataDash - Bitcoin Just Did Something BIG...What Everyone Is Missing (04.11.2024 Summary)

Nicholas Merten from DataDash provided a clear snapshot of current crypto market trends. Bitcoin recently tested its 21-day moving average after a strong October rally driven by major ETF inflows of over 76,000 BTC - the largest seen since February. This development signals potential bullish momentum.

• However, Merten stressed that Bitcoin must maintain this support level for altcoins to benefit.

Altcoins are currently facing tough conditions, with their market cap dropping nearly 20% since April. Merten advises patience, as failing to hold Bitcoin's 21-day average could mean further declines for altcoins. He sees this as a potential accumulation period, where well-timed entries could yield strong returns if Bitcoin moves to $80K-$90K.

On a broader scale, Merten warned of possible stock market corrections due to high valuations and rising volatility. His advice? Stay alert, make strategic moves, and take profits smartly to secure gains in an unpredictable market.

Ivan On Tech - CRAZY DAYS COMING!!!!! (election scenarios) (04.11.2024 Summary)

Ivan on Tech highlighted the critical relationship between Bitcoin’s price and U.S. election outcomes. Currently, Bitcoin’s price is highly correlated with Trump’s election odds. Ivan outlined three scenarios:

1. Trump Wins: Expect a major rally in Bitcoin and stocks, fueled by optimism for a crypto-friendly administration and relaxed regulations.

2. Kamala Wins: Short-term Bitcoin dip likely due to perceived stricter regulations, potentially extending SEC crackdowns on altcoins.

3. Disputed Results: The most concerning scenario, with potential market chaos and significant price drops due to prolonged uncertainty.

Ivan noted that historically, Bitcoin dips before elections but rallies afterward, regardless of who wins. This pattern could repeat in 2024. While Bitcoin remains resilient in the long term, altcoins could face tougher conditions under tighter regulation.

Ivan’s key takeaway: election results may drive short-term market moves, but over time, the macro trend for Bitcoin is bullish as real assets benefit from rising debt and inflation. Stay prepared for heightened volatility ahead.
