$BITCOIN News | Bitcoin Rose After Every U.S. Midterm Since 2014, but Three-Cycle Sample Limits 2026 Signal
Key Takeaways:
• The S&P 500 has risen in the 12 months following all 19 U.S. midterm elections since 1950, with an average gain of 15.4%.
• Bitcoin gained 24.5%, 44.9% and 92.3% in the 12 months following the 2014, 2018 and 2022 midterm elections, respectively.
• Bitcoin's sample consists of only three midterm cycles, making a "100% probability" interpretation statistically misleading.
• Short-term performance can differ sharply: BTC plunged 45.5% in the first month after the 2018 midterms before ultimately posting a positive 12-month return.
• Treasury yields, institutional demand and U.S. crypto regulation could be more important for Bitcoin after the 2026 midterms than historical seasonality alone.
Will history repeat after the 2026 midterms? 👀
