Bitcoin’s price, which recently nosedived to $65,160, is back up, showing signs of stability at $67,500. This recovery comes after a short-term liquidity hunt, leaving traders scratching their heads and wondering which way the market will head next. That’s the question now: do we sail smoothly back toward the highs, or is this just a pit stop on a longer trip down?
This liquidity hunt? It’s the market cleaning out over-leveraged positions, especially those long traders betting on prices going higher. When the price does the opposite, these traders have to dump their positions, adding downward pressure. But for seasoned crypto folks, it’s just a rinse cycle—cleaning up the mess, setting up for the next big move.
All Eyes on $70K Resistance
Ryan McMillin from Merkle Tree Capital doesn’t think this week’s dip was anything unexpected. He sees it as a regular liquidity flush after Bitcoin’s rocket to $69K last Sunday. But McMillin and others expect Bitcoin to test the $70K resistance soon, though they’re eyeing the U.S. election for the big push.
The presidential election is less than two weeks away, and traders are betting on how much it might shake up the crypto landscape. Right now, FiveThirtyEight polling gives Trump a slight edge over Harris, but Bitcoin’s price seems to be holding steady between $63,000 and $68,000. If Trump wins, expect Bitcoin to take a swing at that $71K mark. His crypto-friendly stance has traders feeling bullish, and if the market thinks Trump’s in the lead, Bitcoin could surge.
Market Jitters Around Key Data
QCP Capital, a digital assets firm, shares the optimism. The firm points out that Bitcoin’s well-supported, with room to run. But that’s not all. Non-Farm Payroll data coming out on November 1 could throw another wrench into things. Traders are on high alert for any signs of a labor market slowdown, which would mess with the Federal Reserve’s plans for interest rates. That’s a key signal everyone’s watching, and it could send Bitcoin bouncing around in the days leading up to the election.
So, buckle up—the crypto ride is far from over.
