Donald Trump’s victory in the November 5 polls served as the initial catalyst for the recent week-long increase in the price of bitcoin.

On November 7, however, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) issued a 25 basis point rate drop, which accelerated the bullish momentum in the cryptocurrency market.

The accompanying graphic illustrates how, after the rate cut decision, the price of Bitcoin shot to a new all-time high above $76,800. Bitcoin avoided an early decline thanks to new momentum created by the Fed’s rate decrease announcement on Thursday.

The $80,000 milestone price level represents the next significant resistance level for Bitcoin in terms of upward price movements.

If $75,000 is not held, Bitcoin may decline back toward the 50-EMA, which is at $67,867. As of this writing on November 10, Bitcoin is up 17% from its opening price of $67,866 on election day, November 5, and is currently trading at $79,355.

Ethereum may rise to test the resistance level around $3,296 if it sustains above the current suppport zone ($3K-$3.2K). However, ETH can drop to the $2,815 support level if it is rejected at this point.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is attempting to test its oversold line. A brief corrective could result from a cross into this area.

Since August 5, all upward price movement has been constrained by the 50-day EMA, which ETH is trying to surpass on the weekly chart. Before aiming for the ATH ($0.03), ETH may turn the $3,296 resistance into a support and rally to meet its annual high resistance of $4,093 if it breaks above the immediate barriers.
