Bitcoin may face selling pressure after 2026 US midterms, following historical post-election declines.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that Bitcoin historically dropped significantly after US midterm elections, with declines of 72%, 65%, 52%, and 27% following the 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 elections respectively. While this pattern doesn't prove causation, it suggests potential volatility ahead of the November 3, 2026 midterms. Martinez also noted mixed Bitcoin performance in past fourth quarters and identified the $73,000 level as a key support zone if the post-midterm decline repeats. Conversely, a medium-term rise toward $100,000 is possible if Bitcoin holds above $82,000.

The story on Bitcoin and potential post-U.S. midterm election volatility is set against a Pluang snapshot of major cryptocurrencies as of Sep 29, 2026 20:26 WIB: out of 50 priced assets, 37 rose and 12 fell. SushiSwap led gains with a 4.46% rise to Rp4.791 despite 93% of Pluang order activity being sell orders, contrasting with Yearn at Rp44.072.330 up 3.89% but with an even higher 97% sell order activity. Synthetix also rose 3.86% to Rp4.602 with a more balanced 79% sell and 21% buy order split. This breadth shows mixed sentiment among crypto assets on Pluang at this time.
