Bitcoin (BTC) 
$91,594 continued its rise at the beginning of the week, gaining an additional 2.4% and reaching a peak of $66,500. Subsequently, it stabilized around the $65,000 mark, maintaining a positive outlook due to strong spot demand. QCP Capital evaluates that multiple factors are influencing this increase in Bitcoin’s value. Developments related to the U.S. elections, regulatory announcements, and global economic movements are considered key contributors to price volatility.
Election Uncertainty and New Regulatory Approaches
Optimism in the cryptocurrency market has gained momentum due to expectations surrounding the U.S. elections. Notably, Donald Trump’s rise in the polls has created a favorable environment in the markets. Additionally, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s more positive messaging regarding cryptocurrency regulations has also supported the market. Her friendly rhetoric, in contrast to the previous administration’s stringent approach, has generated excitement within the sector.
As China’s new economic incentives have fallen short of expectations, some investors are believed to be shifting their capital from Chinese stocks to Bitcoin. This possibility has been noted in QCP Capital’s earlier analyses. Moreover, the one-year delay in payments from the Mt. Gox exchange has alleviated potential selling pressure on Bitcoin, positively impacting its prices.
Geopolitical Risks Decrease While ETFs See Record Inflows
QCP Capital highlighted positive developments on the geopolitical front as well. Reports indicating that Israel would refrain from attacking Iran’s energy and nuclear infrastructure have eased market concerns.
Furthermore, demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs is increasing. On Monday, net inflows into ETFs reached $555 million, marking the largest capital flow observed since June 4. Analysts suggest that the absence of significant inflation or employment data in the near term is reducing risk premiums for the cryptocurrency market, creating a more favorable environment.
October’s tendency to strengthen in the latter half also presents new opportunities for investors. QCP Capital advises investors to opt for zero-cost transactions with high return potential. It is anticipated that Bitcoin will continue to rise if optimism surrounding the elections persists.
