Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Bitcoin briefly fell to $75,700 as early U.S. midterm results pointed to Democrats winning both chambers of Congress, rattling markets. Stock futures and the dollar weakened while Treasuries rallied, signaling investors were shifting toward safer assets. The move highlights how crypto remains sensitive to shifts in U.S. political control and the resulting fiscal and regulatory outlook. Traders are now watching final vote counts and whether the risk-off tone spreads to equities and digital assets in the sessions ahead.
