Everyone is always trying to link events to price moves in cryptocurrency but the reality is that there are just too many variables to accurately calculate. There have been extreme instances, like a big exchange getting hacked or when bitcoin ETF's were announced, where the timing is too coincidental to be anything else, but it's rare that more mundane events like a presidential debate is likely to have a strong effect. It's more likely to be economic related news that causes it to bounce or drop, so try to see past the politics unless a candidate says something specifically referencing crypto. The fact that the jobs market and the inflation rate in the US are stabilizing is likely fueling this latest rise.
