The upcoming debate between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to significantly influence the cryptocurrency market, according to a market report from QCP Capital.

As two of the most divisive figures in recent U.S. politics prepare to face off, market participants are preparing for potential price swings leading up to the event.

In its latest analysis, QCP Capital noted that cryptocurrency prices have stabilized after a recent dip, but implied volatility remains high.

Investors are bracing for more fluctuations ahead of two key events: the Trump-Harris debate on September 10 and the release of the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) on September 11, 2024.

The CPI release is particularly crucial as it comes just one week before the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision on the federal funds rate.

QCP Capital's report highlights a cautious market sentiment, with risk reversals in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) and Ether (CRYPTO:ETH) skewed towards puts.

This reflects concerns among investors about potential downside risks amid the current economic and political climate.

Despite the prevailing uncertainty and volatility, QCP Capital remains "structurally bullish" on crypto assets.

The firm pointed out that market participants are leveraging the recent downturn to execute longer-term bullish trades.

“It certainly looks like the market is also taking advantage of this leg lower to pile on more longer term bullish trades,” the report stated.

The analysis further noted substantial call option purchases for March 2025, with strike prices of $85,000, $100,000, and $120,000 for Bitcoin.

These positions indicate that there is still strong confidence in Bitcoin's long-term potential for growth.

Even amid short-term uncertainties, traders seem to be using the current market conditions to build up their positions, anticipating a positive long-term outlook for cryptocurrencies.
