BTC BOUNCES AMID GEOPOLITICS

🟡 Neutral — crypto is rising, but macro risks haven’t gone away

The main change of the day — BTC added about 3% and returned to $69,116, while the macro backdrop has barely moved: the dollar remains very strong (unchanged), and yields and real yields have noticeably declined over the week (10-year 4.31%, real 1.97%), which slightly eases conditions for risk assets. VIX also slipped over the week, but the level of anxiety is still elevated (24.54), and the news flow around Iran and the US–China trade conflict keeps the market in “could swing at any moment” mode.

Within crypto there’s an important nuance: the rise is happening more “through BTC” than through alts — dominance climbed to 56.52% (over the week +0.48 pp). At the same time, sentiment remains depressed: the fear index is at 13 — historically this is a zone where the market often has already “over-feared,” but that doesn’t guarantee an immediate reversal. The ETF picture still doesn’t provide confidence: daily inflow is small (+$9m), and over the week there is still a net outflow (-$366.5m), meaning the bounce looks more like market demand/supply squeeze than a steady return of institutions. Compared to yesterday’s description, the market has become a bit more upbeat due to the price move, but the key constraint — a strong dollar and unstable flows in ETFs — remains.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) PCE in 3 days and CPI in 4 days: any inflation surprises can sharply shift rate expectations and hit BTC.
2) Holding/reclaiming the $70,000 zone for BTC: a break and hold above will improve the picture; a rejection will return the market to a lull.
3) Flows in BTC ETFs: a shift from weekly outflows to stable inflows is needed, otherwise the rise will be fragile against the backdrop of geopolitics.
