The analyst highlighted a pattern whereby Bitcoin’s price replicates its increase from the previous cycle plus an additional 44.5% surge, which led to Bitcoin’s price a year after the US elections.
Based on this, TechDev noted that the BTC price could reach $139,000 if it replicates its 4.51x increase from the previous cycle plus an additional 44.5% surge. Bitcoin was trading at $69,400 on the day of the US presidential elections earlier this month.
The US presidential elections have historically been bullish for the BTC price as the flagship crypto always hits new highs after every election cycle. It is also worth mentioning that Bitcoin never dropped below its price on election day. Moreover, this election cycle looks more bullish than others, considering the US now has its first-ever pro-crypto president.
The Bitcoin price has reacted positively to Donald Trump’s victorycontinuing to pump since Trump defeated Kamala Harris. The flagship crypto is now eyeing the $100,000 milestone, having surged over 37% since the start of this month.
