Pseudonymous crypto analysts DonAlt and CryptoCred explored Bitcoin’s BTC/USD price trends and the impact of Tuesday’s presidential election.
Bitcoin’s Expected Trajectory
In the latest ‘Technical Roundup’ episode, DonAlt noted Bitcoin’s recent surge to close to its all-time high before retreating below $70,000, calling the monthly close “catastrophic” after a key resistance retest.
He projected $49,000 as the first support level in the short term, with more robust support near $35,000 on a monthly timeframe, and in an extreme scenario, a possible drop to $16,000.
DonAlt attributes recent sluggish crypto market activity to positioning ahead of a potential Trump victory. He cautioned on X that a Trump win might bring only modest short-term upside for Bitcoin, while a loss could trigger a sell-off, with a Harris win potentially causing an even steeper decline. Emphasizing flexibility, DonAlt highlighted the need for strategic preparation as election results unfold.

Ethereum’s Play
DonAlt also commented on Ethereum’s ETH/USD underperformance relative to Bitcoin, stressing the dependency of ETH/BTC strength on Bitcoin’s movement. He shared his open position in a SOL/BTC trade.
Given the election uncertainty, DonAlt concluded, “I’m not going to trade in the next weeks, maybe months,” stressing the importance of caution in the current environment.
