๐ฉธ U.S. midterm elections = a Bitcoin correction? ๐
People on X have noticed an interesting historical coincidence: in 2014, 2018, and 2022, periods around the U.S. midterm elections coincided with significant drops in Bitcoin.
๐ The next U.S. midterm elections will take place on November 3, 2026.
But thereโs an important caveat:
โข ๐ In 2018, Bitcoin did indeed begin a sharp decline in November.
โข โ ๏ธ In 2022, the drop also came in November, but one of the main catalysts was the FTX collapseโnot the elections themselves.
โข ๐ In 2014, BTC was also in a difficult downtrend, but the market had a very different structure and different fundamental factors at the time.
๐ก Why is this interesting for the crypto market?
Three coincidences in a row look intriguing, but this is definitely not a trading signal. Elections can affect investor sentiment and expectations around economic and regulatory policy, but BTCโs direction is determined by a much broader range of factors.
If Bitcoin decides to stage another November correction in 2026, this chart will definitely become a meme in 2030 ๐
