Market analysis - BTC challenges historical high, US election will trigger severe volatility

BTC successfully broke through the $70000 mark on 10/29 yesterday, reaching a high of $73620, just one step away from the historical high of $73777 set in March this year.

Looking back at the past half year, BTC hit the $70000 range five times, but it failed to break through successfully, and even formed a red downward trend line for half a year above, accumulating a large amount of selling pressure. Finally, after six months of market reshuffle and shock, BTC broke through several pressure positions directly to challenge new highs, and the price trend was almost 90 degrees upward. Therefore, it is very likely that BTC will successfully break through the historical high. After the breakthrough, funds from within and outside the circle will flow in, and it may be the time when the real bull market will start.

In addition to BTC, DOGE has also performed very well in the past week. DOGE is also an old meme coin with the largest market value, so its popularity inside and outside the circle is quite high. The current increase is largely related to the recent rising momentum of Trump and Musk. Investors have bound up the relationship between DOGE and Musk, and Musk has strongly supported Trump. This week even began to analyze politics. So it can be imagined that if Trump is elected and Musk is jointly benefited, DOGE will not lack the topic of hype in the future, and even the relevant payment applications can be promoted. So if Trump is elected, it can be seen that DOGE will have a Bo celebrates the market.

Meanwhile, SOL also broke through $180 yesterday, and related ecosystem currencies such as RAY and JUP have shown strong gains. Compared to ETH, BTC has been very weak during the same period. It can be seen that BTC has been the strongest and most resilient currency in the past six months, while SOL/BTC has been almost flat in the past six months, indicating that SOL is also very strong compared to BTC. On the other hand, ETH/BTC continues to hit new lows. After BTC's sharp rise yesterday, the exchange rate has reached 0.036 BTC to 1 BTC, returning to the level of 2021. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has risen by about 60%, while ETH has only risen by about 10%.

In summary, there is currently a strong bullish sentiment in the market, and holding BTC has become a consensus, and breaking through historical highs is only a matter of time. In the 10/16 weekly report, it was also suggested to hold more than 40% of BTC. Currently, BTC strategy is also in a full position, and the fluctuations between currencies in this bull market are very polarized. It can be seen that even though BTC is about to reach historical highs in the next few days, most altcoins are still relatively low, and established public chains are also struggling. The coin selection part will be very important in this bull market, and we will also replace the currencies in the follow-up investment group to cope with the possible bull market that may come next. However, the most important thing is risk management. The election is next week and the bilateral polls are similar, so it is difficult to predict the outcome. Therefore, conservative investors can reduce their holdings in a timely manner and invest after the election is confirmed.

Polling and Forecasting

The most influential issue for the market in the coming week is undoubtedly the US presidential election. According to the current poll results, the support of Trump and He Jinli is still tight. At present, the gap between the polls in seven key swing states is no more than 2 percentage points. It is difficult to determine who will win in the end. However, there are significant differences in predicting the market. At present, traders' bet results show that Trump has a 67.3% chance of winning, while He Jinli has dropped to 33.6%.

Historical statistical data for election year

How does the election affect the market?

The analysis company T. Rowe Price has produced a statistical report based on historical data from 1927 to the present to determine whether the election will have an impact on the performance of the US stock market. The results showed that before election day, the average return of the S&P 500 was generally higher than in non election years, but after election day, the stock market's returns during the 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month periods were significantly lower than the same period in non election years.

High probability of economic recession in election year

The possibility of economic recession is high. In over half (54%) of the past 24 presidential elections, the US economy entered a recession in the year following the election (as defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)). This proportion is significantly higher than the average economic recession rate in other years of the presidential term: specifically, there is a 29% chance of an economic recession occurring in the second year of the presidential term, a 17% chance in the third year, and a 25% chance in election years.

In other words, the likelihood of the US economy entering a recession is relatively high within 12 months after the end of a presidential election year. This may be because the market has foreseen that the economy will weaken after the end of the election year, so the stock market may reflect this expectation at the end of the election year.

The impact of re-election on volatility

On the other hand, statistical data also indicates that when the current political party fails to stay in the White House, the volatility of the S&P 500 shows higher levels on average in the months leading up to and following the election (see Figure 5), which may reflect the uncertainty brought about by policy changes. In this case, the volatility is highest one month before the vote. There are two trends worth noting:

When the incumbent political party is re elected, the volatility on average decreases before the election and slightly increases after the election. When the current political party loses the election, volatility significantly increases before the vote and then falls back.

How will the cryptocurrency market change

The market still holds different views on the direction after the election

At present, there is significant divergence in the market regarding the performance of the cryptocurrency market after the election. At present, the market generally believes that if Trump wins, the market may expect a more relaxed regulatory environment, which is good news for the cryptocurrency market. Compared to the strict enforcement actions of the Democratic Party in recent years, Republican administrations have had a more lenient regulatory attitude towards cryptocurrencies in the past, which may promote innovation and investor confidence.

The recent rebound of Bitcoin is likely to be a bet that Trump will win the election. Edouard Hindi, chief investment officer of Tyr Capital, said in an interview with The Block, a foreign media, that no matter what the election results, traders may lower the price of Bitcoin after taking profits.

Meanwhile, Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, believes that the performance of the cryptocurrency market will depend on the election results. If the Republican Party sweeps Congress (referring to the Republican Party winning both houses of Congress), the target price for Bitcoin at the end of the year may rise to $125000. Conversely, if current US Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election, Bitcoin may fall.

Bitfinex pointed out in a report released on Monday that the uncertainty of the US election, the "Trump Trading" narrative and seasonal factors in the fourth quarter created a "perfect storm" for Bitcoin. Analysts believe that given the steady growth of Bitcoin call options and favorable seasonal factors in the fourth quarter, Bitcoin may break through a historic high of $73666 after the US election.

On the other hand, according to the regression analysis of Bank of Italy in 2024, once Trump wins in 2024, it is more likely to be accompanied by bond market volatility, stock price rise, volatility reduction and oil price decline.

In addition to presidential elections, the control of the House of Representatives and Senate is also closely monitored. According to current polls, the Republican Party seems to have a chance of winning the Senate, while the Democratic Party is expected to win the House of Representatives, which could trigger a political deadlock and make the implementation of policy agendas more difficult. But interestingly, analysis by asset management firm Darrow Wealth Management found that political deadlock when the President, Senate, and House of Representatives are controlled by different political parties is the best outcome for the market, as the market prefers an environment with less policy change.

Overall, it is difficult to determine where the election results will push the cryptocurrency market in the short term, but what is certain is that next week, under the dual events of the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve interest rate decision, the cryptocurrency market is bound to experience significant volatility, and investors should reduce their holdings appropriately to avoid taking on too much risk.
