Bitcoin, Ethereum prices drop as polls show Kamala Harris leading Trump

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have dropped sharply in the past few days as traders reacted to the ongoing geopolitical issues in the Middle East, rising chances of a US recession, and weak technicals.

After dropping to a low of $57,000 on Friday, BTC price recovered and started the new weekend trading at $58,000. However, it dropped sharply on Sunday morning and hit a low of $55,000.

After rising above $2,200 on Friday, ETH price also started the weekend trading at $2,000. Like Bitcoin, it dropped sharply on Sunday morning and hit a low of $1,500. Other altcoins also dropped sharply.

In a series of X posts, Peter Schiff, a well-known crypto bear and gold bull, warned that Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Traded Funds could have a liquidity crisis on Monday.

He argues that the ETFs will have to account for the weekend losses and those happening on Monday. As a result, if ETF investors sell, then liquidations would overwhelm the spot market.

#Bitcoin just sank below $58K. If it takes out it's July low by tomorrow's U.S. #StockMarket open, #BitcoinETFs will gap down by more than 15%, 30% below their Jan. highs. A loss of that magnitude may finally trigger mass ETF liquidations. If so, brace for a #Crypto black Monday.

Peter Schiff has a long history of being negative on Bitcoin and Ethereum, which he believes are worthless assets. However, historical data shows that the two assets have outperformed gold – his favorite asset – by far.

Despite the ongoing sell-off, Bitcoin has risen by 21% this year while gold is up by 15%. In the last five years, BTC has risen by 360% while gold is up by less than 80%.
