These funds added a net inflow of over 47,000 Bitcoins over two weeks. Aside from Bitcoin, other major altcoins also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">joined the surge<\/a>. Dogecoin, for example, increased by 15% due to Trump\u2019s popularity. Then, there\u2019s Shiba Inu (SHIB), which jumped by 8%, Ether (ETH) by 4.9%, and Cardano\u2019s ADA improved by 3%.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334995\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/a_f3327f.png?resize=686%2C351\" alt=\"\" width=\"686\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/a_f3327f.png?w=686 686w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/a_f3327f.png?w=640 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\"><\/p>\n<p>Bigger Highs Next?<\/p>\n<p>For many experienced traders, Tuesday\u2019s big jump sets the tone ahead of November\u2019s US elections. Traders and crypto supporters expect Bitcoin to sustain its gains or even hit new highs regardless of the outcome of the presidential elections.<\/p>\n<p>Traders have long favored and anticipated that Donald Trump will win the elections. For many, a Trump win is a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin since he boasts a few pro-crypto policies. It also helps that Trump gets the backing of Elon Musk, a vocal supporter of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. The Democrats, on the other hand, have not made specific policies but plans to introduce regulations in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Even financial analysts contribute their opinions and projections ahead of the US elections. According to some analysts at Standard Chartered, Bitcoin may hit $73,000 by November 5th. If Trump wins, they predict the price to hit $80,000 or even up to $125,000 before the year ends, especially if the Republicans win Congress.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin broke past $71,000 Tuesday morning to lead other major altcoins into a bullish trend a week before the US elections.
