π¨ Bitcoin briefly fell below $79K as rising bond yields and renewed inflation fears triggered a broad market selloff across crypto, stocks, and commodities.
$BTC dropped to around $78.6K before stabilizing near $79K, reversing gains that followed recent progress on the U.S. CLARITY Act.
π The main catalyst:
β’ U.S. 10-year Treasury yields surged to 4.58%
β’ UK bond yields hit their highest level since 2008
β’ WTI oil jumped above $100/barrel
Markets rapidly shifted expectations from potential Fed rate cuts toward possible rate hikes again.
According to CME FedWatch data, traders now see nearly a 50% chance of another Fed hike before year-end β a massive reversal from just one week ago.
The selloff spread across risk assets:
π» $ETH
π» $SOL
π» $XRP
π» $SUI
π» AI-related mining narratives
Crypto-related stocks were hit even harder:
β’ Coinbase -6%
β’ Circle -7.4%
β’ Bitcoin miners like $MARA and $HUT saw sharp declines
π§ Key takeaway:
The market is realizing inflation may still be winning.
Hot CPI, PPI, and rising oil prices are forcing traders to reprice the entire macro outlook β creating pressure on high-risk assets including crypto.
While regulatory progress like the CLARITY Act remains bullish long term, macro conditions and rising yields are currently dominating short-term market direction.
