The digital asset briefly touched $69,000 before slipping to $68,674 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with CNBC, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BTC_Archive\/status\/1850900946206745029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Our bet is that this is a very bullish setup for Bitcoin into the election. We saw the exact same pattern in 2020 where Bitcoin lagged with low volatility and then once the winner was announced, we had a high volume rally as new buyers come into this market.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sigel added that once the election results are confirmed, Moody\u2019s is expected to downgrade US sovereign debt, which could catalyze a BTC rally in the fourth quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe also noted that despite Bitcoin\u2019s relatively subdued performance in October \u2013 a month traditionally strong for the asset \u2013 BTC is well-positioned to reach a new ATH soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uXF2ayXPJ60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">pointed<\/a> out that, despite recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, rates remain high enough to favor risk-off assets like US Treasury bills (T-bills), drawing liquidity away from riskier assets.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch crypto analyst brought attention to the rising M2 money supply, saying that the metric\u2019s strong positive correlation with BTC could suggest that the digital asset might be on the cusp of a big rally. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As long as the M2 supply increases, bitcoin\u2019s price is going to follow\u2026 so it\u2019s just a matter of time until bitcoin price is going to pick up momentum.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably, van de Poppe also mentioned that a potential Donald Trump presidency could spark optimism in the crypto sector, possibly igniting a bull run for digital assets in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump Continues To Lead In Prediction Markets<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/polymarket.com\/event\/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1727948264684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Data<\/a> from Polymarket \u2013 a decentralized prediction market platform \u2013 indicates that Trump is favored to win against the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At press time, Trump\u2019s probability of winning the election has surpassed 66%.
