Bitcoin is expected to have a post-election breakout, but it needs to hold $70,000 as support. Analysts predict a rally after the US elections, with potential for new all-time highs. However, some believe the current rally lacks the macroeconomic conditions for a BTC peak. Key price levels to watch are $70,200 and $69,000.

Bitcoin is on track for a post-election breakout according to analysts and historical chart patterns, but the most immediate hurdle is to trade above $70,200. Bitcoin ( BTC ) price could be set for a rally following the 2024 presidential elections in the United States. Based on the previous years, Bitcoin price saw a breakout after the US presidential elections in 2020, 2016 and 2012, according to a chart shared by Bitcoin trader Mr. Anderson, in a Nov. 4 X post : Other analysts expect the post-election volatility to lead to a Bitcoin breakout to new all-time highs. Notably, Bitfinex analysts predict a Bitcoin rally to $80,000 before the end of 2024, driven by the options market structure and the prospect of a Republican presidential victory. The analysts told Cointelegraph: “Options market positioning indicates that over the past few weeks, end-of-year options have seen a significant rise in call open interest. The December 27th expiry and calls with an $80,000 strike price have been the primary areas of interest.” Other analysts say that Bitcoin is used as a proxy for a potential Trump victory and that this current “Trump hedge” rally is lacking the fundamental macroeconomic conditions to result in an all-time high for BTC.
