Bitcoin recently reached a historic peak of $93,250 and is currently trading near $88,800. Analysts anticipate a potential price correction influenced by market factors and political activities.
Current Bitcoin Market Situation
Since November 5th, Bitcoin has seen an impressive increase of over 39%, reaching a maximum value of $93,250. However, the current price is about $88,800, indicating a minor setback.
CME Gaps Analysis and Potential Decline
Market analyst Quinten Francois suggests the possibility of a deeper correction that could lead prices below $80,000 due to a substantial CME gap. CME gaps occur due to price differences between the close of one trading day and the open of the next. Francois identifies a gap at $78,000, signaling a potential 12% retracement.
Political Factors Influencing the Market
Political events also impact the Bitcoin market. Donald Trump's electoral win on November 5th is seen by many as a catalyst for the current surge. In his campaign, Trump emphasized the growth of digital assets, planning to designate Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the U.S. Pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis supported this initiative, proposing the 'Bitcoin Act' aimed at increasing U.S. reserves to 1 million coins.
Analysts forecast a potential extended bullish trend for the period leading up to 2026-2027 but warn that an unaddressed CME gap may cause additional volatility in the future.
