BTC heads into US midterm showdown: Three things to know in Bitcoin this week
Bitcoin price action held its 100-day moving average into the monthly close as crypto markets braced for US midterm election and tech earnings volatility.

The asset held above its 100-day moving average, which sat at about $76,463 as of November 1, 2026. That matters because the week ahead is crowded. US midterm elections, Apple and Palantir earnings, and the October jobs report all land within days of each other.
Bitcoin traded between $77,000 and $78,600 across November 1 and 2, 2026. It hovered near $78,000 for much of that stretch. That steadiness followed a slip below $80,000.
Bitcoin didn't collapse, but it didn't bounce back above that round number either. The schedule driving the caution is unusually dense. Apple and Palantir report earnings on November 2.
Voters head to the polls for the US midterms on November 3. The October jobs report follows on November 6. The pre-election wobble wasn't only about the calendar. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643.2 million in net outflows on October 30.
