Bitcoin hits new 34-month high above $14,200 amid US elections roller coaster

Bitcoin hits new 34-month high above $14,200 amid US elections roller coaster

Bitcoin has hit a high of $14,273, the highest level since January 2018, when it was rapidly descending from the all-time records. BTC/USD has been extending its gains amid the turbulent US elections.

Stocks are on the rise on assessments that the lack of a winner is only temporary and that it would not lead to a contested election. The No. 1 cryptocurrency seems to be going catching a ride. 

BTC/USD is above the previous peak seen in mid-2019, as shown in the chart below:
