🚨 US ELECTION UPDATE >>> The "Trump trade" took a hit yesterdy (see bitcoin now trading below $70k).

One of the reasons could be this: Yesterday saw a big jump in Kamala's Michigan odds where she is again back on top; Wisconsin is also on the cusp of going back blue. After Trump had a comfortable lead in all swing states over the past week (he still leads comfortably in AZ, NC, PA, NV, GA) there has been a reversal in MI and WI. Thuis makes the race tighter hence some profit taking. Source: zerohedge

"$IBIT iShares Bitcoin ETF traded $3.3b today, biggest number in 6 months, which is a bit odd because $BTC was up 4% (typically ETF volume spikes in a downturn/crisis). Occasionally though volume can spike if there a FOMO-ing frenzy (a la $ARKK in 2020)". Given the surge in price past few days, his guess is this is latter, which means that inflows could be even bigger this week. Source: Eric Balchunas on X, Bloomberg
