Bitcoin rose to $78,300 on 4 November 2026, up 1.7% in the previous 24 hours, according to CoinDesk. The surge marked a V‑shaped comeback after earlier weakness linked to US midterm election uncertainty.
Coinpedia said the price had slipped below $76,000 when Democrats secured control of both chambers, sparking fears of tougher crypto‑friendly legislation. Buying resumed as the outcome clarified, and traders bought roughly $420 million of Bitcoin call options on election day versus $105 million of calls sold.
YourKhabri’s data showed Bitcoin’s market value at $1,569.8 billion and its rank unchanged at number one as of 09:45 UTC. The same feed had recorded the coin hovering near $78,300 on 2 November while markets awaited US jobs data and election results.
Analysts note that holding above the $78,000 psychological level could open the path to the nearby $80,000 resistance and a potential target of $82,000. A break below the reclaimed level would expose the rally to the next support zone around $76,000, Coinpedia warned.
Traders will watch options flow, election‑related regulatory signals and US employment figures for clues on further momentum. The move has no direct tax impact for readers; existing rules such as the 30% flat tax and 1% TDS in India remain unchanged.
