Bitcoin Decouples From Midterm Cycle Bottoms

Bitcoin reached a low of $57,850 on July 1, 125 days before the Nov. 3 election, then recovered to roughly $81,455 by Oct. 22. This 40% gain contrasts with historical patterns where lows arrived shortly after midterms. While technology stocks like QQQ show inconsistent midterm weakness, bitcoin's recent recovery suggests its cycles are independent of election timing.
