Bitcoin Is Showing Resilience And Still Has A Trump Card To Play: Report

Bitcoin BTC/USD has demonstrated exceptional resilience this week, according to fresh analysis by QCP Capital.

What Happened: Despite ongoing challenges such as continued Mt. Gox Bitcoin supply releases and declining equity markets, Bitcoin’s price action has remained relatively stable, suggesting that investor concerns may be subsiding.

QCP Capital reports that Bitcoin has re-established itself within a familiar trading range of $61,000 to $71,000, reminiscent of its performance throughout the second quarter of this year.

Additionally, perpetual funding rates have returned to neutral levels, while volatility metrics are trending downward.

Perhaps most notably, the market appears to be positioning itself for a significant upward movement as the U.S. presidential elections approach.

QCP Capital has observed substantial institutional interest in December $100,000 call options for Bitcoin, even as spot prices experienced a slight overnight decline.

“This signals an even stronger conviction of a year-end rally as the odds of a Trump victory increases,” a spokesperson from QCP Capital stated. The firm suggests that this bullish sentiment is closely tied to potential outcomes of the upcoming U.S. elections.

While short-term price action may remain range-bound, particularly due to significant dealer positions at the $67,000 strike price for July 26, the longer-term outlook appears increasingly optimistic.

Traders have tipped Bitcoin to enter price discovery later this year if price action during the summer months holds up. On top of that, a potential Trump presidency has elevated Bitcoin to an election issue.

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
