The cryptocurrency market surged on November 6, with total capitalization increasing by 10.5% to $2.47 trillion, spurred by early election results indicating a lead for Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Bitcoin rose 8%, while Ethereum gained 6.5%. Many altcoins, including Solana and Dogecoin, saw substantial gains. Trump's projected win is viewed positively within the crypto community, anticipating more favorable regulations and support for Bitcoin mining. This bullish sentiment has also translated into the equities market, with S&P 500 rising by 1.2%. However, the ongoing rally has resulted in over $500 million in liquidations in the derivatives market as short traders faced unexpected losses. Market focus is also on the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting on November 7, where a rate cut is expected, further fueling market optimism.
