During the previous days the price did not change by more than 15% (up or down) and therefore it is not affected by political variables, otherwise the price would have been above $80,000. Political news controls the mood of retail traders who can move the price by about 10%, but the huge liquidity did not move or interact with political news.
Friend, the price of crypto does not only move by political news, there are other factors that determine prices increase. The market demands for Bitcoin and some altcoins show some great moves during the elections results updates. As a trader, I was following the update and also engage on buying and selling at some intervals with good profit.
Again, demand is another good factor that increase the prices of coins during or after elections. Based on Donald Trump promises, there was a higher demands during the elections with much anticipation that Donald Trump will win. Honestly, as a trading, the market reacted during the elections results updates and I was able to capitalize on the market conditions to earn good profit.
Now, the president elect, Donald Trump is a pro crypto president and commands huge influence globally. Based on his promise during his election campaigns, the crypto community are expecting Donald Trump to fulfill his promises.
