The U.S. midterms were a true “blue wave”, not a narrow win. That matters for how much power the new majority really has. The sweep was also bigger than prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) had priced in.

Markets have already reacted once. Bitcoin dropped more than $2,000 to about $75.7K on the first results and was back above a key level of $80,000 by Wednesday. Nasdaq futures fell more than 2% intraday on Wednesday, then rebounded to a gain of 1.80%.

The election’s immediate market impact looks mostly priced in and absorbed within 24 hours. Three things are more likely to move BTC and altcoins over the next 1–2 weeks:
Friday’s jobs number
Iran headlines (especially anything on the Strait of Hormuz or a resumed strike campaign)
November 10 CPI print, which feeds into the December Fed decision.
The election’s bigger, slower effect is on the regulatory outlook for the next few years. The odds of the CLARITY Act passing just got worse, and progress on crypto policy will probably come from the regulators rather than Congress for at least the next two years.
This week comes down to three things:
The jobs report lands on Friday. The forecast is 65K jobs with unemployment at 4.2%. A hot print keeps rate-hike talk alive and could push yields and the dollar higher, and BTC lower. Soft data would bring relief for growth stocks and Bitcoin, and altcoins usually bounce the most.
Bitcoin needs to hold $76.3K, last week’s low. A daily close below it opens the way to the 200-day average at $73.2K. Resistance is at $84.9K. See which coins are holding their trend →

Oil and CPI are the other two tests. Brent fell 9% to $103.6 as US-Iran peace talks made progress, so any setback could reverse that quickly. October CPI comes out next Tuesday, Nov 10 (previous: 3.7% headline, 2.6% core).
Which trades should I consider?
Our analysts flagged three setups with strong trends:
Monero (XMR) is testing resistance in a red week. XMR is at $639.60 and up 5.2% in seven days, with a Strong Up trend (10/10). The trigger is a daily close above $656.9. $571.9 is support. See expert trade setup for XMR.
Pepe (PEPE) broke out. PEPE closed above $0.00000455, and that level is now support. Holding it keeps the breakout intact, with the next resistance at $0.0000057. Trend: Strong Up (10/10). See expert trade setup for PEPE.
JUST (JST) is pressing on resistance. JST is at $0.1407 with a Strong Uptrend (10/10). A daily close above $0.1442 confirms the breakout. $0.1353 is support.

Before you trade, check these two VIP reports:
Smart Money Flows (VIP). The top smart-money exit from two weeks ago is now this week’s top buy. One AI token ran 82.6% while smart money sold $1.5M into the rally, and sellers still outweigh buyers 3.4 to 1. Last week’s warnings played out again: three flagged coins fell 13% to 37%.
Token Unlock Monitor (VIP). About $120M of tokens unlock in the next seven days, a quieter week than the last. Three small caps release 7.8% to 10.9% of their circulating supply within 36 hours. One large cap’s “up to $850M” headline is far bigger than what is actually committed: about $15M.
