Macro & Geopolitical
Global macro conditions remain supportive for risk assets with the 10Y Treasury yield steady at 4.38% and S&P 500 futures indicating modest gains. Dollar strength and elevated bond yields continue to create cross-currents for digital assets as institutional flows turn negative. Gold's risk-off bid to $3,042 suggests underlying uncertainty despite equity market resilience, potentially constraining crypto momentum in the near term.
