GEOPOLITICS IS MAKING NOISE, THE MARKET ISN’T PANICKING

🟡 Neutral — fear in equities is declining, but liquidity and ETFs are hindering growth.

Against the backdrop of news on Iran and commodities, the market, contrary to the headlines, is not showing a classic “flight to risk”: the fear index fell to 16.29, and the dollar is standing still. Yields on 10-year and 2-year bonds over the week noticeably pulled back downward (4.48% and 4.00%), along with real yield (2.09%), but the overall financial backdrop remains tight: inflation readings are high, and net liquidity over the week shrank by almost 1% — this is an unpleasant headwind for crypto.

Within crypto, the tone has become a bit calmer: BTC gained about 0.5% over the day and is holding around $73,401, and the weekly decline has become less deep (about -5.4%). The main change is that outflows from BTC ETFs sharply slowed: about -$229M for the day versus -$733M yesterday, but for the week in total it’s still a large negative (about -$1.9B), and assets under management continue to decline ($94.25B). Compared to yesterday’s narrative, this is an important step toward stabilization, but not yet a reversal: without a halt to weekly outflows, any bounce remains fragile, especially amid low volatility — the market may be “loading the spring” for the next strong move.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) Dynamics of flows in BTC ETFs: consolidation closer to zero is more important than a one-off improvement.
2) Net liquidity: continued decline will weigh even with a calm VIX.
3) Geopolitical news via oil and inflation expectations: they will determine whether rates move back up ahead of next week’s NFP.
