It traded at around $81,000 before the bears drove it south to $76,400 first and then to $76,100. The bulls finally intervened after this major leg down, helping BTC recover some ground over the weekend to around $78,000.<\/p>\n<p>Monday morning began with another minor rally to $79,000, where the bears reemerged again and rejected bitcoin\u2019s mild progress. Shortly after, the asset dipped to $76,400. As the midterms approached, the cryptocurrency regained some traction and tapped $78,000 again.<\/p>\n<p>However, the clear and decisive victory for the Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/democrats-sweep-us-midterms-as-bitcoin-falls-below-77k\/\">resulted<\/a> in a massive nosedive for BTC, which tumbled to a seven-week low of $75,600. Once the uncertainty faded, though, bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/zec-explodes-by-13-daily-as-btc-price-reclaims-78k-after-midterm-elections-market-watch\/\">rallied<\/a> hard and jumped to $78,000 almost immediately. It flew further when US trading hours began yesterday, and rocketed to $81,000, leaving $380 million in shorts <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/380m-in-shorts-liqudated-in-an-hour-as-bitcoin-btc-skyrockets-to-81k\/\">liquidated<\/a> in just an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was stopped there, BTC continues to trade above $80,000 as of press time. Its market capitalization has rebounded to $1.610 trillion on CMC, while its dominance over the alts is above 60% again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/BTCUSD-November-5.png\"><\/a>BTCUSD November 5.

The situation hasn\u2019t improved much, as TRUMP is down by another 15% on a 24-hour scale today.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ethereum has risen past $2,400 after dipping to $2,100 after the midterms, while XRP has jumped to $1.32 as of press time. SOL is still under $100 despite its 3.7% daily increase. LINK, ADA, LTC, CRO, BCH, CC, and TAO are also well in the green.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, HYPE has slumped by nearly 4% to $83, while TRX, XMR, and RAIN are slightly in the red.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has increased by 2.3% in a day, and it\u2019s up to $2.690 trillion on CMC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Screenshot-2026-11-05-113822.png\"><\/a>Cryptocurrency Market Overview November 5.
