BTC has experienced increased volatility lately, and its price dropped to $67,000 levels on November 3, following a rebound at today’s levels. 
Last week, BTC reached prices above $73,000, fueled by whale accumulation, and a lengthy continuous inflow streak in US BTC ETFs. 
The crypto products recorded inflows from October 11, until October 31, with a single day of outflows on October 22. On November 1, BTC ETFs saw another day of outflows at almost $55 million. 
Last week, from October 28 to November 1, the crypto products recorded over $2.22 billion in inflows, marking their third largest inflow week since their inception. BTC ETFs saw their biggest week in March at $2.57 million in inflows, according to SoSoValue data.

Bitcoin’s recent price drop from prices above $73,000 was triggered by multiple factors including the Iran-Israel war. 
In their recent <a href="https://x.com/GreeksLive/status/1853098341414105462" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">post</a>, Greeks.live also noted that Bitcoin’s short-term IV is currently at high levels around the US elections. 
While at some points it seemed that Bitcoin’s recent price rally was correlated to Trump’s rising odds of winning the US elections, the correlation was not sustained 100% during the past two weeks. It remains to be seen how the results will affect BTC’s price this week. 
However, considering that BTC’s monthly average return for November is <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/bitcoin-average-november-return-is-over-40-how-high-can-btc-surge-this-month/">over 40%</a>, according to historical data, we might see a new ATH this month.
