- Is a surge incoming for Bitcoin earlier than the upcoming U.S. elections?
- BTC might rally to $70K by the tip of October.
On the 14th of October, Bitcoin [BTC] rallied 5% and retested $66K as analysts linked the upswing to imminent U.S. elections.
Quinn Thompson, founding father of crypto hedge fund Lekker Capital, termed the newest rally a “Trump bump,” citing rising odds of Trump profitable the U.S. elections.
However Kamala Harris’s latest pledge to assist a crypto regulatory framework has made some pundits imagine that the 2024 elections may very well be a win-win for the business.
U.S. election issue
On its half, crypto buying and selling agency QCP Capital believed the rally was a part of historic developments forward of the U.S. elections.
“The timing ahead of the U.S. elections mirrors historical patterns. In both 2016 and 2020, #BTC surged just three weeks before #Election2024 Day.”
In 2016, BTC hiked from $600 three weeks earlier than the U.S. elections and doubled by January 2017. Equally, BTC exploded from $11K earlier than the 2020 elections and hit $42K by January 2021.
Will the development repeat in 2024? AMBCrypto requested Bitget Analysis’s chief analyst, Ryan Lee, what his ideas had been,
Lee stated that BTC has remained resilient regardless of the strengthening U.S. greenback. This might sign a bullish part for the asset within the medium time period.
He projected BTC might stay range-bound or explode above $70K by the tip of October.
“Volatility in the crypto market will likely increase ahead of key events — the next November Fed meeting and the US elections at the same time. BTC price fluctuations may range from $58,000 to $69,000.”

Moreover, the latest BTC hike confirmed the next low development that would sign a possible market construction shift and an finish to the re-accumulation part witnessed since March.
