Many analysts expect Bitcoin\u2019s price also to be influenced by the elections.<\/p>\n<p>History does show that elections are turning points for Bitcoin, and they typically work in the benchmark cryptocurrency\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the cryptocurrency came about just a few months after the 2008 elections, its parabolic cycle in 2012 was kicked off following President Obama\u2019s second-term election, and its 2016 bull trend took place shortly after President Trump\u2019s 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">BTC\u2019s price<\/a> has risen from multi-month lows of $9,900 to highs of $14,100 that were set less than one week ago.<\/p>\n<p>If history rhymes, then the 2020 elections could mark the start of the digital asset\u2019s next parabolic trend, which is already beginning to show some signs of starting.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin sees immense growth since the 2016 elections<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During the past 4 years, Bitcoin has seen immense growth on multiple fronts, including gaining mainstream adoption amongst retail, institutional, and corporate investors, while also seeing parabolic price gains.<\/p>\n<p>During the November elections in 2016, Bitcoin was trading at $730, while Ethereum was at $10.<\/p>\n<p>This shows just how massive the bull run between 2016 and 2017 truly was, with the subsequent bear market not even coming close to erasing the gains seen over this time frame.<\/p>\n<p>Although Ethereum still has a way to go before it recaptures its 2017 highs in the lower-$1,000 region, Bitcoin is rapidly approaching its all-time highs as bulls take full control of its mid-term outlook.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elections typically mark a pivoting point for BTC<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/messari\/\">Messari<\/a> analyst Ryan Watkins <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RyanWatkins_\/status\/1254827920608186370\">explained<\/a> that presidential elections in the U.S. have typically taken place at the start of past bull runs \u2013 including that seen between late-2012 and early-2014, and between late-2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNot a lot of people know this, but US presidential elections are a leading indicator of Bitcoin bull runs.
