ZEC and NEAR Tank Again, BTC Dives Ahead of US Midterm Elections: Market Watch

Bitcoin’s gradual recovery following the Binance hack came to an end over the past 12-18 hours or so, with the asset dropping below $77,000 once again ahead of the US midterm elections. Most altcoins have followed suit, with substantial losses seen in ZEC, NEAR, ENA, and several others. The promise of an ‘Uptober’ failed dramatically after the rejection at $85,000 on October 21 and the subsequent correction toward $80,000. Although BTC had dipped below that level on several occasions, it still managed to remain above it after the US Federal Reserve held rates unchanged last Wednesday.
