As we have been seeing over the past few weeks, the US presidential elections have been influencing crypto prices. Be it Donald Trump’s assassination attempt or Joe Biden’s withdrawal, it seems that every time Republican candidate and former President Trump is seeing any development in his favour, Bitcoin is jumping leaps and bounds. At the Bitcoin 2024 rally over the weekend, Donald Trump made several pro-crypto promises that he’d deliver if he wins, including the setting up of a tactical national crypto reserve. This helped Bitcoin jump over $69,000 mark for the first time this month. So, investors should keep track of the latest developments in the US Presidential election to get a rough understanding of BTC’s movements in the coming days.

What Crypto Traders Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, "Bitcoin surged past $69,000 over the weekend following former US President Donald Trump’s speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Trump announced plans to create a strategic national Bitcoin stockpile if re-elected. The bullish sentiment spurred by Trump's announcement could continue to drive momentum this week. If Bitcoin breaks the $70,000 level, it is likely to test the resistance zone between $72,000 and $73,777. Key support levels to monitor are $68,000 and $66,500 in case of a pullback.”
