WARMING UP IN THE STOCK MARKET, CRYPTO DOESN’T BELIEVE

🟡 Neutral — anxiety has decreased, but demand in BTC is weak

The main shift of the day is a noticeable decrease in anxiety: VIX fell from 30.61 to 25.25, and yields also pulled back (10-year 4.30% versus 4.35% yesterday; real yield 2.00% versus 2.04%). This looks like cautious relief amid talk of a possible end to the conflict around Iran, but the dollar remains strong and is holding near the highs of recent months (DXY 120.885 unchanged on the day, but higher over the week), so financial conditions for risk do not fully “let go.”

Crypto looks weaker against this backdrop: BTC fell to $66,323 (from $68,224 yesterday), weekly performance worsened to -6.26%. The key reason is a reversal via the institutional channel: the daily flow into BTC-ETFs turned negative (-$173.73M after +$117.63M), and over the week the outflow expanded to -$450.06M. At the same time, the “fear and greed index” remains in the extreme fear zone (12), and BTC volatility has picked up — the market is nervous and easily breaks down. Compared to yesterday’s narrative, this is a step back: macro became a bit softer, but crypto did not get confirmation via ETFs and therefore remains within the correction.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) Tomorrow’s NFP: strong data may strengthen the dollar and press BTC again; weak data — give a chance for a rebound.
2) Dynamics of flows in BTC-ETFs: at least a return to stable inflows is needed, otherwise any relief in VIX will be “empty” for crypto.
3) The $70,000 level for BTC as the nearest zone where it will become clear whether there is demand for growth; for DXY — 120.885 as a marker of persistent dollar pressure.
