Trump’s Victory Drives US BTC-Spot ETF Market Inflows and BTC Demand

The market reacted positively to Trump’s election win, with US BTC-spot ETFs reporting net inflows of $1,864.8 million for the week ending November 8. Notable inflows included:

• iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led with $1,251.1 million.
• Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) gained $295.4 million.
• Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) received $76.8 million.

Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas noted that Bitcoin ETFs took in a staggering $1.4 billion in one day, predominantly influenced by Trump’s victory.

Demand May Outstrip Supply Signaling a BTC Move Toward $100,000

Trump’s commitment to establishing Bitcoin as a US strategic reserve could increase demand significantly. Currently, the US government holds 208,109 BTC, valued at $16.57 billion. If the government enhances its holdings, it could drive Bitcoin closer to the $100,000 mark.

MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor stated, “Nations will adopt Bitcoin as a Treasury Reserve Asset,” as MicroStrategy’s stock surged 17.72% for the week ending November 8.

Technical Analysis

Bitcoin is currently trading above both the 50-day and 200-day EMAs, indicating a bullish trend. A break above $79,404 could lead to a target of $85,000, with further potential to reach $100,000. Conversely, a drop below $75,000 could place $70,000 at risk.

Ethereum Analysis

Ethereum remains strong, above its 50-day and 200-day EMAs. A breakout above $3,244 could signal a move towards $3,480. However, a fall below $3,033 could indicate a downward trend.
