GEOPOLITICS KEEPS THE MARKET ON EDGE

🔴 Negative — anxiety is high, yields are pressuring risk.

The main variable of the day is the escalation in the Middle East and risks to trade through Hormuz: against this backdrop, the market continues to avoid risk. Macro indicators have barely moved over the past day, but conditions remain tight: 10-year yields are at elevated levels (4.42%, +17 bps for the week), real yields have also risen (2.08%, +20 bps for the week), and the VIX is holding above 25 (27.44, +3.38 for the week) — this combination usually restrains demand for crypto.

In crypto, a slight exhale is noticeable: BTC’s daily performance improved relative to yesterday, and the weekly drawdown became less deep, but this is more of a “pause” than a reversal — the price is still below the key psychological level of 70k (66,684). Sentiment has meanwhile deteriorated into the extreme fear zone (Fear & Greed 9), and institutional flow remains against the market: outflows from BTC ETFs for the day are about $225 million and about $438 million for the week, with assets under management declining. On the 5-day horizon — NFP: strong data could keep yields high and make bounces fragile.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) Geopolitical news around Hormuz: any escalation quickly raises anxiety.
2) BTC ETF flows: stabilization of outflows is the first condition for a more confident bounce.
3) NFP on April 3: the reaction of yields is more important than the number itself for BTC.
