ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Election Day, and the betting markets give Democrats a 95% chance in the House and 77% in the Senate. I think most of that is priced in, so only a Republican surprise really moves Bitcoin, and my baseline is more chop this week. I think $76,000 holds at the 50 week simple moving average, around $75,500, with about a 20% chance we see $66,000. Binance says 98% of the affected assets from the hack are already replenished, and Apple dragged the Nasdaq lower after earnings. I also walk through two trades I am building on GMGN perps: a NEAR long between $3.20 and $3.60, and Lighter near $2.30.
