Standard Chartered Bank: BTC is expected to return to historical highs before the U.S. elections
ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Standard Chartered's Global Head of Digital Assets Research Geoff Kendrick released a report stating that Bitcoin is showing upward momentum and may approach its historical high of $73,800 before the U.S. presidential election.
Kendrick pointed out that multiple factors are driving this potential price increase, including a steepening U.S. Treasury yield curve, a revival of interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs, and an increased probability of Donald Trump winning the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
According to the Polymarket prediction platform, Trump's chances have risen to 56.3%. If Trump wins, the probability of the Republican Party simultaneously controlling the Senate and the House of Representatives is 70%, which could create favorable conditions for risk assets, including Bitcoin.
