Peter Schiff Cautions Crypto Traders of Potential Retrace Ahead
By now, it is safe to assume that the cryptocurrency market has been reacting to the preliminary results from the United States 2024 elections. Early election results show that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has secured an early lead, even in crucial swing states.
According to a popular prediction platform, Polymarlet, the odds of Trump winning the US presidential election have spiked to a new ATH of nearly 80 percent as of this report. However, crypto critic Peter Schiff has cautioned traders of a potential selloff in the near term.
“The dollar is rising, while bonds and gold are selling off. Of the three, only bond traders have it right, but for the wrong reason. Harris would’ve been worse than Trump, but the real crash hasn’t been averted,” Schiff noted.
Market Picture
Bitcoin has jumped back above $70K prior to US election results coming in later today. Several memecoins and AI/Big Data altcoins like DOGE, SHIB, FET, BONK, & POP, are also spiking. The S&P 500 is also up big as well, which is a strong sign of later November growth. pic.twitter.com/nmycxkYNNL
As Bitcoin price rallied above $73k in the past two months, the altcoin market, led by dog-themed meme coins, has gained significant bullish momentum. According to a popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, the highly anticipated altseason could kick start in the next eight weeks as Bitcoin dominance prepares for the inevitable reversal.
Meanwhile, institutional investors have continued to watch from the sidelines, as shown by the third day of cash outflows from the US spot BTC ETFs.
