After a turbulent October, which saw notable fluctuations, certain altcoins stood out with impressive performance, sparking optimism among investors for the final quarter of 2023. Analysts believe this period could mark the beginning of a historical rise for the crypto market. So, what do experts predict for the coming months?
Current Market Analysis and Expert Insights
Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher recently reviewed the market’s current state, noting that the recent downturn was largely driven by delayed long liquidations. According to Deutscher, the market saw an unprecedented $2.3 billion sell-off, one of the largest in recent memory.
“The recent downturn was mainly due to long liquidations, which isn’t entirely unexpected,” Deutscher explained. “Today, I’m planning to make DCA purchases in quality altcoins, as I anticipate a deeper yet brief correction and aim to capitalize on it. The market will likely remain volatile due to election-related fluctuations, so I’m avoiding leverage positions.”
Impact of Election Outcomes on the Market
Deutscher also shared insights on the possible impact of the U.S. elections on the crypto markets. Observing the Polymarket predictions, he noted a correlation between Trump’s decreasing chances and recent market trends. As election day approaches, platforms show an increasing probability for Kamala Harris. Should Harris win, as some polls predict, crypto assets might experience a deeper correction.
Current polling aligns with a Democratic win, hinting at possible downward movement for crypto markets on Tuesday. However, if a surprise win favors Trump, speculation could shift toward the Fed’s next Bitcoin reserve increase.
Top Performing Altcoins in October
In the previous quarter, meme coins took the lead as the most profitable sector. Data shared by analyst Daan Crypto Trades confirms this trend, with meme coins continuing to dominate in recent weeks. The performance has varied widely across sectors, with artificial intelligence coins lagging behind as liquidity flowed towards AI-based meme coins.
“Once again, meme coins led the market in recent performance,” said Daan Crypto Trades. “Artificial intelligence sectors, especially chain-linked AI meme coins, absorbed liquidity but didn’t see notable returns this time.”
Investors should keep a close eye on the election results, as they could shape crypto market trends in November and beyond. Whether it’s a Democratic win potentially pushing for further corrections or a surprise Republican victory fueling new speculation, November is set to be a crucial month for the crypto space.
