Bitcoin surged past $71,000 as inflows into BTC ETFs (exchange-traded funds) skyrocketed, with rising optimism surrounding Donald Trump’s potential victory in next month’s election fueling speculation that the leading cryptocurrency could reach a new all-time high.
Analysts at Bitfinex called market conditions a “perfect storm” for Bitcoin, highlighting a confluence of factors that may drive prices higher.
“The market is showing signs of positioning for a post-election surge, potentially propelling Bitcoin towards—and beyond—its all-time high of $73,666,” Bitfinex said in an Oct. 28 note.
Among positive factors that’s buoying sentiment is rising hopes that Trump will retake the White House, and bring a more favorable regulatory environment for the crypto industry.

With ETF inflows showing no signs of slowing down and a “perfect storm” of positive sentiment and macroeconomic factors at play, Bitfinex says BTC is well-positioned for a potential move toward a new all-time high.
“The convergence of election uncertainty, the ‘Trump trade’ narrative, and favorable Q4 seasonality create a perfect storm for BTC, promising an exciting period ahead regardless of noisy price movements heading into the election,” it said.
In his <a href="https://cryptohayes.substack.com/p/lets-go-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">latest blog post</a>, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes added that China’s economic stimulus measures will inject trillions of dollars into financial markets, helping drive up crypto prices.
