FameEX Weekly Market Trend | November 4, 2024

1. BTC Market Trend

From October 31 to November 3, the BTC spot price swung from $67,276.35 to $72,625.71, a 7.95% range. The recent market fluctuations are primarily due to uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election results. Important statements from the European Central Bank (ECB) over the past four days include:

1) On November 1, ECB President Christine Lagarde indicated that the inflation rate in the Eurozone is expected to reach the ECB's 2% target by 2025.

2) On November 1, ECB Executive Board Member Isabel Schnabel stated that a gradual approach to interest rate cuts remains appropriate, though there is significant uncertainty regarding the neutral rate.

3) On November 1, ECB Executive Board Member Fabio Panetta believed monetary conditions in the Eurozone remain tight, and interest rates need to be reduced.


What are the key points in the U.S. Presidential Election?

1) Popular Vote: Starting at 7:00 PM EST on November 5, each state’s popular vote results will gradually be announced. The candidate who wins the popular vote in each state secures all of that state’s electoral votes, with the exception of Nebraska and Maine, where some electoral votes are allocated by district.

2) Electoral Votes: A total of 538 electoral votes are available nationwide. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win. Current projections suggest Harris could secure 226 electoral votes and Trump 219, leaving 93 votes still in contention.

3) Key Swing States: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina are critical battlegrounds. Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral votes, has the most electoral influence among these states.

4) If a Tie Occurs: In the event of a 269-269 tie, the House of Representatives would decide the presidency, while the Senate would choose the vice president. These processes are independent, so the president and vice president could potentially be from different parties.

5) House Vote: The voting takes place after the newly elected members of Congress are sworn in, with a total of 50 votes available. A candidate needs to receive 26 votes to win. If no candidate secures 26 votes by Inauguration Day, the vice president selected by the Senate will temporarily assume the duties of the president until a president is elected.

6) Historical Context: In 1800, a tie in the election led to changes in U.S. election rules. In 1824, no candidate received enough electoral votes, leading to the House's first and only presidential selection.


In an interview at Dubai Blockchain Week, CZ Zhao Changpeng stated, “I can’t predict the future, but I can analyze history. Historically, Bitcoin has shown a clear four-year cycle. 2013 and 2017 were bull market years. However, 2012 was actually a ‘recovery year’, a detail many overlook. 2016 was also a ‘recovery year’, leading to a strong bull market in 2017. Similarly, 2020 was a ‘recovery year’, with 2021 bringing a bull run. Based on this analysis, 2024 should also be a ‘recovery year’. While the events of next year are uncertain, I remain very optimistic about the industry’s long-term prospects.”
