Bitcoin faces key tests this week with US midterms, global rate hikes, and US jobs report.

Bitcoin and crypto markets face a critical week with three major events: US midterm elections, rate decisions by central banks in Australia, Sweden, and the UK, and the US October jobs report. Investors link Bitcoin's potential rise to $100,000 by year-end with which party controls the US Congress, with Republicans seen as more favorable. Meanwhile, expected rate hikes abroad and the US jobs data will influence market sentiment, as higher rates could divert investment from Bitcoin. The outcomes will shape Bitcoin's near-term trajectory amid recent market volatility triggered by a major Binance hack.

Bitcoin trades at Rp1.415.201.940 on Pluang as of Nov 02, 2026 19:22 WIB, showing a slight 0.11% gain in the last day. Market interest remains strong with 71% of orders buying Bitcoin and a typical hold time of 112 days. The market cap stands at Rp28.344,63 trillion, reflecting sustained investor engagement despite recent volatility.
