Furthremore, the presidential candidates has not publically disclosed massive support for crypto. As a result, investors are expecting Harris’ ascension to negatively impact the value of BTC and crypto markets.

Another trader with screename “cryptochimpanz” on X hinted to his followers that $60K to $62K is a key level for accumulation.
