1. BTC Market Trend
From November 4 to November 6, the BTC spot price swung from $66,508.69 to $76,299.15, a 14.72% range. During this period, the price increase is mainly attributed to Republican candidate Donald Trump, who supports cryptocurrency, winning the next U.S. presidential election. Due to the U.S. election and daylight saving time, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its rate decision at 2:00 PM ET on Thursday, November 7. Typically, the Fed holds its policy meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the decision released on Wednesday. However, this time, the meeting was postponed by one day to accommodate the U.S. election voting.
Former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that the outcome of the U.S. presidential election is unimportant, as both candidates believe “Russia must be defeated”. He suggested that if Trump were elected and attempted to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, he might face assassination. Medvedev also reiterated that Ukraine’s entry into NATO could potentially trigger a third world war.
Following Trump’s election as the next U.S. president, USD/JPY rose to a three-month high, with Japanese stocks closing higher and the Nikkei 225 index up 2.6%. The market has increased its bets on a Bank of England rate cut, anticipating a 31-basis-point cut by December, and on a European Central Bank (ECB) rate cut, expecting a 30-basis-point cut by December. Meanwhile, traders have reduced their expectations for a U.S. Fed rate cut next year, now predicting a 100-basis-point cut by September.
The Public Security Bureau of Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, issued a notice stating that Dingyifeng and its associated companies are suspected of issuing fraudulent financial products, including “DDO Digital Options” (categorized as “air coins”), and engaging in illegal activities. To combat crime and protect investors’ legal rights, authorities have imposed criminal measures on suspects, including Sui and Ma, for alleged fundraising fraud. The case is under further investigation. The police urge investors to actively cooperate in providing evidence, report facts truthfully, express demands lawfully, and avoid spreading or believing rumors.

2. Insights on Macro Trends & Crypto Trading Skills
After Trump’s successful return to the U.S. presidency, central bank governors worldwide are gauging whether their worst fears about Trump will become reality. Trump has promised to impose tariffs on U.S. imports, which would disrupt global trade; tax cuts would further stretch the federal budget; and the deportation of undocumented immigrants would reduce the pool of cheap labor.
This poses two major risks: a slowdown in global economic expansion and faster inflation in the U.S., which could make the Fed less inclined to lower interest rates. The result may be a stronger dollar, limiting room for developing countries to ease their own monetary conditions. Goldman Sachs expects the ECB to cut rates again, citing Trump’s policies as a reason for slower economic growth. Facing steep tariffs, it is also anticipated that China might ease its policies more than originally planned. However, not all regions have this flexibility. Emerging markets eager to support their own currencies may become more hawkish.
Currency officials saw a glimpse of what may come this Wednesday. The dollar surged against major currencies to its highest levels since 2020, while a spike in U.S. Treasury yields prompted some Asian authorities to pledge measures to protect their currencies. China is in a similar situation, being a key target of Trump’s tariff agenda.
Bloomberg economists noted, “Trump’s election victory could herald a broad surge in global tariffs: he has threatened to raise tariffs on Chinese imports to 60% and tariffs on other countries to 20%. This would push the U.S. average tariff rate above 20%, its highest level since the early 20th century. The hardest hit would be America’s closest partners, Mexico and Canada. For most other countries, the GDP impact would be relatively minor but would mask significant shifts in trade flows from the U.S.”
Alicia Garcia-Herrero, Chief Asia-Pacific Economist at Natixis, commented, “The U.S. market may celebrate, but Asian economies could be big losers. Trump’s policies will mean less room for rate cuts just when central banks most need it.”
Europe is also feeling the tremors of the election, especially in Eastern regions, where there are concerns that the U.S. might reduce support for Ukraine as it defends against Russian forces. Fears of heightened tensions between Washington and Brussels pushed the euro closer to parity with the dollar.
Christopher Kent, Assistant Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, stated at a parliamentary panel in Canberra, “As for tariffs, we simply don’t know the scope or whom they’ll target. The biggest worry is a large tariff on China, which could negatively impact us.”
After the Indonesian rupiah hit its weakest level in nearly three months, Indonesia’s central bank indicated readiness to stabilize the currency and prevent excessive fluctuations. Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo told Parliament that Trump’s victory could keep the dollar strong and U.S. Treasury yields elevated.
