GEOPOLITICS KEEPS THE MARKET ON EDGE

🔴 Negative — yields and anxiety are rising, BTC is slipping

The main shift of the day is a new tightening of financial conditions amid the geopolitical agenda: the VIX rose to 27.44, and yields increased (10-year 4.42%, 2-year 3.96%), while the real yield is also higher (2.08%). The dollar, meanwhile, barely changed, but the combination of “expensive money” and elevated anxiety usually weighs on all risky assets.

Crypto reacted as expected: BTC fell to 66,190 (about -3.4% over the day and -5.8% over the week), remaining below the psychologically important 70k zone. Institutional demand isn’t providing support — BTC-ETFs continue to see notable outflows (about -225M for the day, about -438M for the week), and assets under management fell to 84.77B. Against this backdrop, “extreme fear” (12 points) looks more like a sign of capitulation sentiment, but without a reversal in ETF flows and a decline in yields, the sustainability of rebounds remains in question.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) Geopolitical news: any escalation is quickly reflected in the VIX and pressures BTC.
2) Yields and the real rate: stabilization/pullback (especially in TIPS) is key to easing pressure.
3) Flows into BTC-ETFs: a shift from outflows to inflows is the main signal that “big money” is coming back.
