🇺🇸 Election Uncertainty Weighs on Crypto Markets

The much-anticipated debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris left crypto enthusiasts hanging, as neither candidate touched on cryptocurrency regulation.

This lack of clarity disappointed many in the crypto space. As a result, Bitcoin experienced a slight decline, trading around $56,500. The broader crypto market mirrored this downturn, with Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin also posting losses.

• This reaction comes at a time when the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. election is already weighing heavily on riskier assets like Bitcoin.

With no clear frontrunner in the election and unclear policy direction from both candidates, analysts are warning that the market could remain volatile as we approach Election Day.

Despite the recent market dip, there are signs that Bitcoin could be approaching its bottom.

One key signal is the negative funding rates in the perpetual swaps market. Simply put, this means it’s getting cheaper to hold short-term positions, which often signals a shift toward a more positive price movement.

• Historically, when funding rates turn negative, Bitcoin has tended to recover in the months that follow.

Long-term Bitcoin holders continue to accumulate, showing confidence despite current market conditions, while short-term demand weakens as quick-turn investors exit. This shift, with long-term holders taking control, often signals a market bottom and potential recovery.

As economic indicators and the U.S. election unfold, these signs suggest Bitcoin may soon stabilize and prepare for a rebound.

TWITTER SENTIMENT
Bitcoin is Not Done Yet 🐂 

Crypto investor @ChifoiCristian has shared an analysis on Twitter that's gaining a lot of attention, arguing that Bitcoin hasn’t topped yet and that many are misreading the market.

Here’s his theory:

• Rate cuts: When central banks lower interest rates, borrowing money becomes cheaper. This happened in 2019, when Bitcoin surged 4.3x in three months. But after the cuts took effect, Bitcoin dropped over 70% for 250 days before starting to rise again when borrowing became really cheap.
  

• Cristian’s view: He believes we’re in a similar situation now. The market has already reacted to the idea that rates will be cut, but the real Bitcoin rally will come when credit becomes cheap again, just like in 2019.
  

• Cheap credit: Once borrowing is easy and cheap, people have more money to invest, which could drive up Bitcoin’s price. Cristian is betting heavily on this, expecting Bitcoin to rise once cheap credit kicks in.

His conclusion? Many expect Bitcoin to drop before the next big rise, but he believes the real bull run will start once borrowing gets easier again, just like before. He's betting his entire strategy on this outlook.

Lark Davis - Bitcoin Stuck, But For How Long? (11.09.2024 Summary)

Lark believes Bitcoin is "stuck" in a tough spot, with support around $52,000 but facing resistance from key price levels above.

• For Bitcoin to rise, it needs to break through resistance from the 200-day and 50-day moving averages, which are currently holding it back.

He highlights upcoming events, such as the U.S. elections and interest rate cuts, that could cause significant volatility for Bitcoin.

Despite the current price stagnation, Lark is optimistic about the future. He notes that the fundamentals of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are stronger than ever, even if prices don’t show it yet.

Lark advises caution during this uncertain period but sees great long-term potential for Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole. He believes that once key barriers are overcome, Bitcoin could experience significant growth.

Ivan On Tech - BITCOIN: YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS! (11.09.2024 Summary)

In a recent video, Ivan discusses the current dip in Bitcoin prices, attributing the market's reaction to political events.

He points out that Bitcoin, which was trading at $58,000, has dropped to $56,600 following a U.S. political debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

• Ivan notes that the market viewed Harris as calm and in control, while Trump's more aggressive behavior negatively impacted the sentiment.

• As the debate progressed and Trump’s performance declined, Bitcoin’s price also began to drop.

Ivan highlights how government policies affect crypto, expressing concern that too much regulation, especially under Harris, could block innovation in areas like cryptocurrency and space.

He uses Elon Musk’s Starship delays as an example of how bureaucracy slows progress. Ivan believes Trump’s focus on streamlining government, with Musk's support, would help innovators, including in the crypto space.

He argues for less regulation and more freedom, warning that too many rules could hold back the growth of the industry. In his view, politicians should let the market lead the way.
