Bitcoin’s price, currently at $59,089, may experience dramatic swings as it mirrors patterns from previous U.S. presidential election years. According to cryptocurrency analyst Matthew Hyland, Bitcoin’s recent consolidation and downturn, which saw the price dip below $50,000 in early August, reflect trends from 2012, 2016, and 2020. 
In a video on August 16, Hyland noted how Bitcoin’s current behavior resembles past election years. “I’ll go back to August 2012, a massive crash right here. Then we slowly moved into the election, before moving up drastically after the election.”&nbsp;

Hyland, said, “This sort of path is what i’m expecting. A little choppy, nothing too crazy, then probably October, November, we’ll move out of this range.” 
The 2024 U.S. presidential election is set for November 5, and Bitcoin’s price action in the lead-up to this event could be pivotal. As of now, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin price</a> currently trading at 59,185 is down nearly 10% from July 18, reflecting broader market sentiment. 
Some traders are cautious, with crypto trader Rager suggesting Bitcoin might dip further below its current price before the end of September. He expects a brief recovery later in August but warns of potential declines into September. 
Others are considering a potential dip to $40,000. MN founder Michael van de Poppe warns that losing support at $56,000 could lead to new lows or a retest around $48,000, while Markus Thielen of 10x Research recommends waiting for a drop to the low $40,000 range for a better buying opportunity. 
Bitcoin’s current price trends suggest it could follow a familiar pattern of significant swings seen in past election years. Analysts predict that recent consolidation and downturns may signal a major shift ahead.
