Trader Notes: Trader HornHairs pointed out that a similar sell-off took place before the 2016 and 2020 elections but cautioned his followers not to succumb to the short-term urge to sell.

CryptoKaleo highlighted another similarity between the 2024 and 2020 chart patterns. In 2020, Bitcoin did not immediately “rip” after breaking its all-time high and a similar pattern may be playing out now, according to the heavily-followed trader.

Trader Altcoin Sherpa marked the next potential support areas if Bitcoin were to fall below the $70,000 level.

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
