It Doesn't Matter Who Wins. The Printers Are Already On đ¸
Welcome fren,
State of the Market. Bitcoin Caught in the Election Crossfire đ¤šââď¸
Hold onto your hats, folks! The U.S. presidential race is heating up, and apparently, so is Bitcoinâs blood pressure. With the latest poll surprises showing a neck-and-neck race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Bitcoin took a tumble, momentarily dipping to $67,600 before perking back up to $68,300. The rest of the crypto crowd? Not exactly in party mode eitherâCardano and Avalanche saw nearly 6% drops. Yes, it turns out that even digital assets get political FOMO and are feeling the election-season jitters. đłď¸
To the Moon, Maybe? Support Levels and Bullish Hopes. Not to worry, crypto bulls arenât throwing in the towel yet. With Bitcoin support levels hanging around $65,000 to $68,000, analysts are counting on those dips to attract bargain-hunting buyers. Over on Ether Avenue, the coin could rally above $2,850 if support holds strong, while everyoneâs favorite meme coin, DOGE, and old-school LTC are gearing up for potential breakouts. And for the privacy enthusiasts, Monero is chilling between $135 and $180, waiting to make a break for $165.
Buckle upâwhether itâs FOMO, FUD, or FOH (Fear of Harris?), this election is bringing the crypto market all kinds of flavors. đż

Chart of the Day. Bulls in Control: The BTC Balancing Act đđŞ
As long as Bitcoin keeps its footing above $66,500, the bulls are calling the shotsâso say the analysts. With BTC comfortably seated above major moving averages, the next target looks like a tasty $73,679. But hold onto those diamond handsârecent signals hint at potential hiccups along the way.
Bearish Signals and Bumps Ahead
Bitcoinâs latest chart patterns show a mix of âis it going up or down?â vibes. An engulfing pattern, a pumped-up RSI, and global headlines have analysts sounding a cautionary note. Geopolitical tension and Tether drama are lurking in the background, potentially causing BTC to take a breather, consolidate, or even dip. đťâ ď¸
The Path to Glory: All-Time High in Sight?
Still, optimismâs in the air! If BTC keeps its upward momentum, the all-time high might just be within reach. But remember, this is Bitcoinâa rollercoaster that plays by its own rules. Will the bulls stay strong and push us to new heights, or will the bears swipe back? As always, the only certain thing is volatility. Buckle up! đ
