The largest cryptocurrency fell just below $76,000 early Wednesday as reports indicated Democrats were winning control of both chambers of Congress, a setback for pro-crypto President Donald Trump. It has since staged a V-shaped recovery, erasing its early losses. Just ahead of the U.S. stock market open, it’s risen to $78,300.
The sharp recovery reflects easing uncertainty, according to TDX Strategies founder Dick Lo.
“Bitcoin dropped initially in response to the Democratic sweep of the midterm elections, but has since recovered as a clear outcome resolves political uncertainty,” Lo told CoinDesk.
