Contrary to popular belief, recent analysis by FalconX reveals that there is no strong correlation between former President Donald Trump’s election odds and Bitcoin’s price movements from June 1 to August 15, 2024. This conclusion, reported by Coindesk, challenges the assumption that Trump's electoral prospects significantly influence Bitcoin's value.

The study indicates that US monetary policy and Bitcoin's oversupply are more influential factors affecting BTC prices during this period. FalconX’s research highlights that while initial speculation suggested a potential link between election news and Bitcoin price shifts, the actual impact of Trump’s election odds appears to be minimal.
The research also points out that other market dynamics, such as significant selling by some investors and concerns over potential oversupply, have overshadowed the effects of election-related news on Bitcoin's price. As Election Day approaches, it remains uncertain whether election developments will become a more prominent factor in driving Bitcoin’s value.
In summary, FalconX’s analysis suggests that Trump’s election odds do not significantly affect Bitcoin prices compared to other influential factors like US monetary policy and supply dynamics. The interplay between these elements will continue to shape Bitcoin's market movements as the election nears.
