Driven by the U.S. midterm elections, the crypto market has been highly volatile amid macro-political uncertainty and net outflows
The midterm elections’ deeper impact on the market is reflected in three main areas:
I. Macro and market dynamics: expectations priced in and sentiment taking shape
1. Historical patterns and risk unwinding: Ahead of elections, risk aversion often drives defensive pullbacks of 5%–10%. Liquidations of leveraged long positions are part of the market shakeout under extreme uncertainty.
2. Prediction markets and the resolution of uncertainty: Prediction markets have already priced in the political landscape with high probability. Once the political uncertainty is resolved, the easing of short-term risk aversion could help the market stage a temporary recovery.
3. Alignment with the cycle and macro trends: Midterm elections usually fall in the middle to latter part of Bitcoin’s halving cycle. The Fed’s interest-rate path, global liquidity, and risk appetite in U.S. equities have a greater influence on the medium- to long-term trend than any single political election.
II. Funding and technical factors: fund redemptions and key lines of defense
1. ETF fund flows: Large single-day net outflows from spot ETFs reflect institutional investors’ wait-and-see stance ahead of the election. The key question is whether ETF flows will return to net inflows after Election Day.
2. $BTC key structural support: The $70,000–$71,000 range is a psychological line of defense for maintaining the broader bull-market structure; the $75,000–$76,400 range marks key support at the moving averages and lower boundary. A breach could trigger a second test of the lows.
III. Policy and regulation: Congressional composition determines the legislative path
1. Unified control: If one party controls both chambers, progress on market-structure legislation clarifying regulatory responsibilities is likely to accelerate, helping establish a clear framework for institutional participation.
2. Divided government: If the president and Congress are controlled by different parties, or the two chambers are split, legislative progress may slow or stall. The industry’s focus would then shift to proactive regulatory guidance from agencies and the organic development of areas such as RWAs and stablecoins.
The market is currently characterized by political catalysts playing a secondary role, with liquidity and market structure taking center stage. Given cyclical indicators that lack clear stop-loss levels or trigger signals, a prudent strategy would be to reduce leverage and avoid periods of extreme volatility, while paying close attention to changes in ETF flows after the election is confirmed and to price action around key support zones.
