Bitcoin price soared and retested the important resistance point at $70,000 for the first time in months as the odds of a Donald Trump victory rose and as geopolitical risks eased. The BTC/USD pair has moved into a bull market after rising by over 30% from its lowest level in September.

Bitcoin’s rally happened as the price of crude oil slumped by over 4% on Monday after Israel avoided bombing Iran’s oil and gas infrastructure as some analysts were expecting. The response happened because of the rising pressure from the Biden administration because of the upcoming election.

Bitcoin also jumped after Donald Trump held a big rally in New York a he made his closing arguments. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that he will win the election, with Polymarket’s odds rising to 66%.

Donald Trump is viewed positively by the crypto industry, meaning that the coin could continue rising if he wins.

Meanwhile, institutional investors have continued to move to Bitcoin ETFs. Data shows that Bitcoin ETFs have crossed the $22 billion inflows mark, pointing to more demand. One of the recent buys was Emory University, which acquired ETFs worth over $15 million.

The BTC/USD pair will react to the upcoming US economic numbers, which will provide more information about the Federal Reserve.
