What traders are watching:
Bitcoin rebounded towards $80,000 after briefly falling below $76,000, defying bearish expectations following Democrats' reported congressional sweep and the $6.3 billion Binance hack.
Crypto commentator Scott Melker and Ledn co-founder Mauricio Di Bartolomeo highlighted strong dip-buying demand despite growing regulatory uncertainty.
Di Bartolomeo warned that Democratic control could derail the Clarity Act and trigger stricter crypto oversight.
He argued that rising U.S. debt and persistent deficits could strengthen Bitcoin's long-term appeal.
Melker highlighted Bitcoin's bounce from its 50-week moving average, while Di Bartolomeo identified $75,000 as key support, with a break below $70,000 potentially threatening the bullish outlook.
