Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum & Litecoin – European Wrap 4 November
|Bitcoin Price Forecast: Analysts anticipate increased volatility as the US presidential election looms
Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade in the red on Monday after being rejected near its all-time high of $73,777 last week. Analysts suggest that the upcoming US presidential election on Tuesday will likely increase market volatility. Some expect it will trigger another “sell-the-news” reaction like that seen during the Nashville Bitcoin conference, prompting traders to remain cautious amidst the anticipated fluctuations.
As the US presidential election approaches, market volatility is expected to rise. Due to its pro-crypto stance, the crypto community slightly prefers former President Donald Trump winning the election, adding complexity to market predictions.
As Bitcoin retreats from the top, Ethereum moves to the bottom
The crypto market lost 1.7% of its cap in 24 hours to $2.24 trillion. The market is correcting as Trump's chances of winning national polls diminish ahead of the election. For now, it looks like a de-risking ahead of an important event where both major candidates have roughly equal chances of winning.
The price of bitcoin has fallen back below $68.5K and was bottomed out at levels $1K lower on Sunday. The pullback has not yet broken the overall bullish pattern that has been forming since September. We will be able to talk about the bears' clear superiority when the price breaks below $65K, which would be a failure below the local lows from the end of last month and the 50-day moving average.
Litecoin poised for double-digit decline after breaking ascending trendline
Litecoin (LTC) trades slightly down at around $66.60 on Monday after closing below an ascending trendline on Sunday. Technical indicators suggest a potential downturn, supported by on-chain metrics showing dormant wallets becoming active and a negative spike in the Network Realized Profit/Loss (NPL) indicator pointing to a decline ahead.
Litecoin price broke and closed below an ascending trendline (drawn by joining multiple lows since early August) on Sunday after facing rejection and closing below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $70.63 earlier in the week. As of Monday, LTC’s price continues to trade down around $66.60.
