Market picture
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.

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.
The situation is gloomier for Ethereum, which has been losing for the fifth day in a row, falling back to $2450—the lowest of the last three weeks. It is below the 50-day moving average and generally near the lower end of its trading range since August.
