Bitcoin has faced significant volatility and uncertainty as it approaches a pivotal week, with tomorrow’s US elections expected to play a key role in determining price action. BTC is holding steady above the $68,000 mark, a critical level that has shifted from resistance to a solid demand zone. Analysts view this level as key to maintaining bullish momentum, especially with high-stakes events on the horizon.
Key data from Coinglass reveals a notable drop in Bitcoin’s open interest, indicating many investors are closing their positions amid the uncertainty surrounding the election and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision on Thursday. This drop in open interest reflects a cautious market stance as traders anticipate the election outcome and its potential impact on broader financial markets and Bitcoin’s trajectory.

With BTC managing to stay above this demand zone, the coming days will be crucial to confirm its price. A continued hold could strengthen BTC’s prospects and set the stage for a possible breakout. Conversely, increased selling pressure due to market reactions could challenge this level. The coming week could be a defining moment for Bitcoin’s price action as macro events unfold.
Bitcoin investors are preparing for this week
Bitcoin is gearing up for what could be the most defining week of this market cycle. BTC is nearing an all-time high and faces increased volatility as two critical events unfold: the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates.

This week is crucial for Bitcoin and the broader global economy, with analysts suggesting the election could set the tone for international economic policy and trade relations in the years to come.

With BTC teetering near all-time highs, investors are closely watching these events to learn more about the market’s direction. Whether Bitcoin breaks through to new highs or experiences a pullback largely depends on the unfolding economic landscape. For now, Bitcoin remains tense, with investors primed for a week that could determine the trajectory for the coming months.
BTC tests crucial liquidity
Bitcoin is trading at $68,800 after falling short of its all-time high last week. This week promises greater unpredictability in BTC price action, driven by major events in the global economy. Key levels will be key to keep an eye on: If Bitcoin can maintain support above $68,000, it will likely pave the way for another attempt to rise past its all-time high.
However, volatility could test this support, potentially shaking out “weak hands” before significant upside momentum builds. Should BTC fall below $68,000, further declines could follow, allowing institutional buyers to accumulate before new momentum arrives.
If Bitcoin successfully breaks above its all-time high of $73,794, it will enter a price discovery phase, where the lack of resistance could lead to a rally fueled by FOMO (fear of missing out) among investors. This upward momentum in a price discovery zone often leads to rapid price increases as more buyers enter the market.
