US Presidential Election may affect the BTC price
The US presidential election is holding in November as two crypto traders shared their predictions on Twitter on how the Bitcoin price will react. Accordingly to Coin telegraph news, the tweet indicates as follows: “If we have a clear winner and an easy transition of power, I do not see much of an impact on the price per coin,” trader “BigCheds” told Coin telegraph. “On the other hand, if we have a close and/or contested election, we should see a bounce in risk-off assets like gold and Bitcoin.”

Another Twitter trader put it this way: “This election year is certainly different considering what we have seen in the past due to the pandemic and the global economy taking a toll,” Twitter trader “CryptoWendyO” told Coin telegraph. “With an event like COVID, one would assume that Bitcoin would pump due to financial market uncertainty, however, we are not seeing that,” she said. Meanwhile, the US government has delayed the stimulus money they promise because of COVID-19 which will come after the election. The mainstream markets and crypto markets both reacted to the news that the president has refused approval. This in effect will affect Bitcoin’s price if approved.

From the price action, Bitcoin is likely to retest the $12,000 overhead resistance as the market resume upside momentum. On September 19 uptrend; BTC was resisted at the $11,185 high. The retraced red candle body tested the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. It indicates that the market will rise and reach the level of 2.618 Fibonacci extension .
