Will Bitcoin Price Crash Again?

Yes, there are high chances of a crash for Bitcoin price. The upcoming US presidential election results on November 5 could induce volatility in the financial market not just in the US but across the world. Bitcoin and crypto markets could suffer a short-term setback as well.

Here are two reasons why BTC price might crash.

Bitcoin Active Addresses Shows Lack of Investor Interest.

Active addresses on Bitcoin blockchain is currently hovering around 734K, which is 25% lower compared to 986K as seen on ATH in March 2024. A reduced investor interest shows that there is less capital flowing into BTC and the recent rally could be driven by fumes.

The reason for the lack of participation can be attributed to the US presidential elections that is set to air the results on November 5. This clear signal indicates that many investors are hesitant and are waiting for the conclusion of US presidential elections are over.

Investors Not Bullish On BTC Due to US Presidential Election 

According to Polymarket, an online betting plaform, there is an 8% chance that Bitcoin price hits $80,000 before the US presidential elections. This information outlines how pessimistic investors are ahead of this key political event.

On the other hand, if Bitcoin price bounces off the $68,958 support level and stays above it until after the US elections are over, it signals strength. Such a development could send Bitcoin price to all-time high in November.
