As the U.S. presidential election approaches, it’s worth examining how past elections have influenced Bitcoin’s price.

This could phenomenon could potentially come to an end as Bitcoin matures and ‘decouples’ from equities and it’s narrative as a speculative asset. However there’s no evidence yet that this is the case.
