Matrixport Market Observation: U.S. stocks rise alongside BTC, what will the market trend be before the election?

In the past week, BTC showed a short-term rebound from the bottom. On October 11, BTC broke below the $60,000 support level, hitting a low of $58,946, and then quickly rebounded above $60,000, oscillating in the range of $60,000 to $63,000. On October 14, BTC's price surged rapidly, briefly breaking through $66,000 by 6 AM on the 15th. As of the publication of this article, BTC remains at $65,000 (the above data is sourced from Binance spot market, October 15, 15:00).

In the coming week, there will be intensive statements from Federal Reserve officials, along with the release of macro data, the full commencement of the U.S. earnings season, and further fluctuations in local political and geopolitical relations, which may lead to continued oscillation in BTC's market.

Presidential Election is a Dead Heat, Market Uncertainty Increases

U.S. stocks continue to hit new highs, but the U.S. presidential election remains one of the closely watched events in the market. Currently, the competition among candidates is in a stalemate, with polls showing Harris having a higher approval rating than Trump, while Polymarket indicates Trump's approval rating is 10% higher than Harris's. Coupled with the sudden rise in bond yields, uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary easing policy, and global geopolitical tensions, global market uncertainty has significantly increased.

Global Acceleration of Crypto Asset Regulation, Market Optimistic About Long-term Adoption of Crypto Assets

U.S. presidential candidate Harris has pledged to promote a clearer regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The market believes that once the U.S. regulatory framework is clarified, institutional funds will flood into the market, driving the prices of Bitcoin and other crypto assets further up.

At the same time, other countries are also actively promoting the regulation of crypto assets. According to reports, the South Korean Financial Services Commission plans to establish a "Virtual Asset Committee" this month, which may hold its first meeting "as early as this month." This agency will operate under the jurisdiction of the South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC), with the approval of Bitcoin ETFs being a key agenda item. Additionally, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has announced that it will include crypto assets in its compliance program. The tax authority is seeking information about crypto users from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and crypto asset service providers.

Current Layout

Although U.S. stocks are frequently hitting new highs, as global market uncertainty increases, market risk aversion sentiment has significantly risen, leading to some market inflow into BTC as a safe haven. Many market analysts believe that against the backdrop of increasing global political and economic uncertainty, the cryptocurrency market will continue to receive support from capital inflows, especially with a positive long-term outlook for BTC, which may test new price highs in the coming months.

It is recommended to closely monitor large transactions and market capital flows while maintaining caution, reasonably allocate asset layouts, and lock in some profits in advance. For long-term bullish investors in BTC, structured products or other financial tools can be used for coin-based appreciation; options like fixed income, shark fins, and trend intelligence are relatively stable choices.

For seasoned users looking to quickly accumulate BTC assets, considering Accumulator discounted positions may also be an option. Given the current high market prices, Accumulator products allow investors to buy Bitcoin at a discount below the market price, thereby reducing overall costs during the gradual accumulation process. This is suitable for investors in the current market who wish to regularly buy and gradually accumulate Bitcoin.

Of course, investors should also be reminded that investment carries risks, and it is advisable to invest reasonably according to their own risk preferences and risk tolerance, aiming to achieve investment returns while managing risks.
