what happened
Bitcoin is up about 0.4% at $77,038, but it has not managed to reclaim $78,000. According to Market Talk, sentiment is still fragile after the Binance hack, and investors are focused on the US midterm elections.
Nic Puckrin, founder of Coin Bureau, notes that Bitcoin has historically sold off after midterms before rebounding. He also says the AI rally that has supported the stock market is losing steam, and that the Fed may resume rate hikes. Tensions in the Middle East add further uncertainty.
In his view, support sits near $76,000, and a break below $75,000 would open the door to more downside.
why it matters
The key point for markets is that a recovery in crypto and stocks depends largely on removing political uncertainty. While the midterms and Middle East risks remain unresolved and rates may stay high, any rally looks limited.
