BREATHER AFTER GEOPOLITICS

🟢 Positive — anxiety has eased, liquidity and ETFs provided support.

The key change of the day is a noticeable decline in market anxiety: the VIX fell to 21.04 (from 25.78 yesterday), on the back of news about a ceasefire around Iran and a sharp pullback in oil. At the same time, the dollar and yields barely moved (DXY 120.66 unchanged; 10-year 4.29% unchanged), meaning the improvement in sentiment did not come via a “cheap dollar,” but via a drop in fear. An additional plus — systemic liquidity continues to rise: net liquidity added about 2% over the week and remains at very high levels.

In crypto, we finally got the confirmation that was missing yesterday: daily inflows into BTC ETFs flipped to a confident positive (+$358M after -$125M), and the weekly total accelerated to +$499M. BTC is holding above $70,000 and is up about 8% for the week ($72,091), while volatility is noticeably lower than in previous periods — the ground under the rally looks more “even.” But there is a nuance: the sentiment index is still in the zone of pronounced fear (16), and BTC dominance is high and continues to rise — capital is concentrating in BTC, and the broad altcoin market may lack fuel.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) Whether the VIX holds below 20–22: a return above 25 will quickly bring pressure back on crypto.
2) Continuation of inflows into BTC ETFs: 1–2 days of weakness after today’s surge will be an important test.
3) The market’s reaction to today’s CPI release: if the surprise strengthens expectations of a rate cut, it will support risk assets.
