Macro & Geopolitical
Macro conditions remain supportive for risk assets with 10-year Treasury yields holding below 4.40% while equity markets extend gains in pre-market trading. The dollar index has stabilized following recent volatility, reducing headwinds for dollar-denominated crypto assets. Gold's continued strength above $3,000 reflects persistent inflation hedging demand, which historically correlates with Bitcoin's store-of-value narrative gaining institutional traction.
