BTC Is Trading Above $66,500
At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading at $66,500, after earlier seeing a price drop close to $66,200, ahead of a quick reversal.
The coin is seeing increased price volatility, amidst an important economic week which includes an IMF-Work Bank meeting.
Analysts expected high volatility for the coin’s price, especially since the US elections are getting closer.
On October 21, Bitcoin’s price rallied above $69,000, a price level that has not been seen since June, but the week continued with a descendant trend for the digital asset.
Last week’s BTC rally was fueled by continuous inflows in US BTC ETFs and rising odds of a Trump win. According to data from Polymarket, today, Trump continues to lead Kamala Harris by 64.1% to 35.8%.
Considering that the rising Trump election odds have been a catalyst for Bitcoin’s price last week, a continued surge for a Republican win could support the coin’s price and trigger a rebound. Until then, the recent price correction gives traders a great accumulation opportunity.
