<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="btc-dominance-holding-strong">BTC dominance holds strong amid market shifts</h2> 
<p>As autumn peaks, Bitcoin’s (<a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>) market dominance—the percentage of the total crypto <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/glossary/market-cap-in-crypto/">market cap</a> it holds—is creating an intriguing scenario. Currently, at around 59.7%, a level last reached in April 2021, it appears set to cross the 60% threshold.</p>

<p>As of Oct. 28, Bitcoin’s price has risen by nearly 2.5% in the past 24 hours, pushing it to around $69,000. Now, it’s inching closer to the $70,000 milestone — a “psychological resistance” level that could shape market sentiment.</p>

<p>This rise in Bitcoin’s dominance supports the idea that we’re in a “Bitcoin Season.” The Altcoin Season Index, which currently <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sits</a> at a low of 25, shows that only 25% of the top 100 non-stablecoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the last three months. On this scale of 1 to 100, a score of 25 or below signals Bitcoin Season.</p> 
<p>What’s particularly interesting is that this surge in Bitcoin’s dominance aligns with some major upcoming events. First, the <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/tag/us-elections/">U.S. presidential election</a> on Nov. 5 could be monumental for crypto.</p> 
<p>Furthermore, just two days after the election, the Federal Reserve will meet for its next policy review on Nov. 7. Speculators using the CME FedWatch Tool are almost <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">certain</a> of a 25 basis point rate cut, with a 97% probability.</p> 
<p>With Bitcoin’s dominance pushing toward 60% and these key catalysts on the horizon, let’s explore the market’s current pulse and what experts forecast for Bitcoin and the broader crypto ecosystem.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="btc-et-fs-and-enticing-milestones">BTC ETFs closing in on major milestones</h2> 
<p>With November’s calendar packed with market-shifting events, Bitcoin ETFs are nearing a milestone that could further solidify Bitcoin’s standing in the financial ecosystem.</p> 
<p>As U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs approach a combined 1 million BTC holdings, traders are eyeing potential tailwinds to drive the market higher.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Currently, these ETFs hold around 977,000 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $67.4 billion — about 5% of Bitcoin’s total market cap of $1.36 trillion.</p> 
<p>Reaching the one-million BTC milestone would signal an unprecedented level of institutional engagement and could serve as a catalyst for additional price momentum.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, estimates that an influx of around $1.5 billion would allow these funds to acquire the extra 23,000 BTC needed to reach this historic threshold.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This milestone could be achieved as early as this week if ETFs maintain an average of $300 million in daily inflows.</p> 
<p>Recent inflows — around $3 billion in just the last two weeks, according to Bitcoin analyst Alessandro Ottaviani — have led many analysts to predict that Bitcoin could reach new all-time highs if this momentum persists through November.</p>

<p>In addition, the Fed’s upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting will address a potential 25 basis point rate cut. Should this rate cut proceed, it could inject fresh liquidity into the market, potentially boosting Bitcoin’s upward momentum.</p> 
<p>On the international front, Russia is set to lift its ban on Bitcoin mining on Nov. 1, reflecting a broader trend of governments easing crypto restrictions, which could further bolster Bitcoin’s appeal and add stability to its network.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="election-odds-and-what-they-mean-for-bitcoins-future">Election odds and what they mean for Bitcoin’s future</h2> 
<p>With the U.S. presidential election just days away, the crypto community is assessing the potential impact of each candidate’s victory on Bitcoin.</p> 
<p>According to Polymarket, a popular prediction platform, Republican <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/tag/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a> <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1730126024049" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">leads</a> with a 66.1% chance of winning, backed by $720.9 million in bets, while Democrat <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/tag/kamala-harris/">Kamala Harris</a> has a 33.9% chance, with $456.1 million wagered on her victory.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Similarly, Kalshi’s <a href="https://kalshi.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">data</a> places Trump’s odds at 62% and Harris’s at 38%.</p> 
<p>However, polling data from the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">offers</a> a contrasting view: Harris holds a narrow national lead with 49% support compared to Trump’s 48%, marking her slimmest lead since August, according to Nate Cohn, the Times’ chief political analyst.</p> 
<p>The race remains exceptionally close, with seven swing states likely to tip the balance. Even slight polling shifts could see either candidate sweeping these battlegrounds, making the final result uncertain.</p> 
<p>Trump’s crypto-friendly promises, including his pledge to be a “crypto president,” have fueled hopes for favorable policies that might encourage Bitcoin investments.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In contrast, a Harris win may introduce volatility due to her more cautious stance on digital assets, leaving investors uncertain about the regulatory landscape.</p> 
<p>As both outcomes remain <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/is-trump-just-using-crypto-voters/">possible</a>, the market seems poised for short-term reactions once the winner is announced.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="crypto-and-macro-perspective">Crypto and macro perspective</h2> 
<p>With Bitcoin positioned strongly near $69,000, market watchers are buzzing about its future trajectory, especially with macro events on the horizon.</p> 
<p>Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has highlighted that Bitcoin’s current trading range has held steady for the longest period since 2016 and 2020. He sees this eight-month consolidation as the calm before the storm.</p>

<p>According to van de Poppe, a breakout could push Bitcoin to new highs, with a potential price of $90,000 to $100,000 by the end of the year if momentum holds.</p>

<p>Beyond technical patterns and price targets, the macroeconomic backdrop could be a key driver of Bitcoin’s direction.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Van de Poppe suggests that this cycle may deviate from the usual 4-year market rhythm. With interest rates falling and governments increasing liquidity—China being a prime example—he argues that Bitcoin’s growth potential might extend longer than expected.</p>

<p>However, the bullish sentiment comes with necessary warnings.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Bitcoin analyst Ali notes that for an upward rally to materialize, Bitcoin must maintain its support level at $65,000. If it does, he predicts a potential rise to $72,000, followed by a brief pullback before another rally toward $78,000.</p>

<p>In short, while market indicators and the macro landscape support a bullish case, the potential for volatility—especially with the U.S. election and upcoming Fed decisions—shouldn’t be underestimated.</p> 
<p>A word of caution remains: though the market leans bullish, Bitcoin’s path is never without surprises. Trade wisely, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.</p>
