Macro & Geopolitical
Global risk sentiment deteriorates as geopolitical tensions escalate across Africa and emerging markets, with the DXY strengthening to 106.8 amid safe-haven demand. African institutional instability and Ebola containment concerns are driving capital flight from frontier markets, while U.S. Treasury yields climb on strong employment data. These dynamics reinforce the risk-off positioning evident in crypto markets as institutional flows rotate toward traditional safe havens.

Market Overview
Bitcoin's breach of the $60,000 technical level, representing a 50% decline from October highs, has accelerated risk-off positioning across digital assets. The broad-based selloff in major tokens, with ETH down 9.66% and SOL declining 5.90%, suggests institutional deleveraging rather than idiosyncratic stress.
