He predicts that BTC will reach approximately $73,000 on November 5, election day. In the event that former Republican President Donald Trump wins a second term, Kendrick believes BTC will experience a 4% increase based on options information and rise another 10% in a few days.
However, if current Vice President Kamala Harris is elected president, Kendrick says Bitcoin may trade lower for a period of time, but will ultimately end the year around $75,000.
