On Monday, the price of Bitcoin rose to $63,000, up 2% in the last 24 hours. This recovery comes after a recent decline due to increased conflict between Iran and Israel and thus raises questions about the effects of Trump and Musk’s recent rally.
During the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump was joined by Elon Musk, who endorsed Trump’s candidacy. Many believe their appearance together energized Trump’s supporters and may have contributed to the positive market sentiment surrounding Bitcoin.
The upward trend in Bitcoin aligns with signs of a stronger U.S. economy, driven by higher-than-expected employment figures. As investors became more optimistic, their confidence in Bitcoin increased, linking the political landscape to market movements.
Bitcoin’s progression was also in parallel with other major stock exchanges, as the statistics have reduced the chances of a crisis in the US economy.Â
Notably, betting markets are shifting in Trump’s favor more than Kamala Harris, with Polymarket indicating 51% for Trump and 48% for Harris. This change is after Trump held a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Musk, who is an executive at Tesla, was supporting him.
This view can be explained by Trump’s supportive approach to crypto which consists in accepting BTC donations and pledging to establish beneficial legislation if elected.
However, Bitcoin is not the only digital currency growing fast. Ether, the second-largest crypto, rose by 3% to $2,487.07, while other altcoins such as SOL, XRP, and ADA were up between 2.3% and 5%.
While investors are waiting for economic reports, the possibility of a small reduction in the interest rate in November may also affect the crypto market. As the CPI inflation data is expected to be published this week, many are interested in how it will affect the Fed’s expectations on interest rates.
The Bitcoin recovery to $63,000 is a possibility due to market regeneration as well as the political factors that include the Trump-Musk effect that may have boosted investors’ enthusiasm.
