Market Moves by Omkar Godbole Bond Yields Drive Market Action Bitcoin's relationship with the government bonds is back in focus after a gap of five months, thanks to the renewed rise in the longer duration bond yields in the U.S. and Europe fueled by expectations for tighter monetary policy.
While the 10-year Treasury yield is hovering at three-month highs near 1.5%, its British counterpart has moved above 1% for the first time since the March 2020 crash. The real or inflation-adjusted 10-year Treasury yield has increased by 20 basis points this month to -0.87%.
Bitcoin is down 2% for the week, in line with the dominant market narrative of the cryptocurrency being a store of value asset like gold. An uptick in real yields is said to dilute the appeal of the yellow metal.
Macro traders holding bitcoin as an inflation hedge may sell if real yields continue to rise. Bitcoin fell by 20% during the previous episode of an accelerated rise in yields in late February. However, as of now, real yields look to have limited upside, as the ongoing oil price rally may bring more inflation. Past data shows bitcoin thrives in a rising nominal yield environment.
The path of least resistance for bitcoin remains to the higher side unless rising yields or other macro factors destabilize global equity markets.
Ether's options market shows investors are wary of short-term sell-off in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value. The one-week put-call skew measuring the spread between the price of puts or bearish bets relative to calls has jumped from 11% to 17% in the past 24 hours. Data from QCP Capital's Telegram channel show that an individual trader or group of traders bought Oct. 8 expiry puts at $2,600 and $2,700 strikes in large numbers early Tuesday. Bitcoin has charted majority of its lifetime gains in rising yield periods. (Source: ByteTree) Read the original story here: Bitcoin, Gold Under Pressure as Dollar Tracks US Treasury Yields Higher
Technician's Take by Damanick Dantes, CMT Bitcoin Declines from Resistance; Approaching $40K Support Bitcoin (BTC) is trading lower after sellers responded to resistance near $45,000. The cryptocurrency is down about 4% over the past 24 hours to $41,909 as upside momentum slows. Bitcoin's four-hour price chart shows the cryptocurrency trading below its 100-period moving average. (TradingView, CoinDesk) The 100-period moving average on the four-hour chart continues to cap upside moves. This suggests buyers are losing strength after failing to sustain a breakout above $50,000 resistance earlier this month. The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is neutral after reaching overbought levels last week, which preceded a brief 14% price bounce. On the hourly chart, the RSI is the most oversold since Sept. 26, suggesting intraday buyers could remain active, albeit briefly toward $43,000-$45,000 resistance. Support is nearby at $40,000, which could stabilize the pullback.
