Oil above $109 and a 5% Treasury yield added to selling pressure
Still, I wouldn’t pin the entire decline on Washington. Bitcoin is sensitive to changes in the bond market, and as oil prices continue to climb, the 10-year Treasury yield topped 5%, reaching its highest level in nearly 20 years. Investors appear fairly convinced that a rate hike is incoming from the Federal Reserve.
Typically, when bond yields rise, volatile assets become a tougher sell, as investors opt for a healthy, safe return.
The bottom line
I wouldn’t get too caught up in any single short-term moves, but the next week will be a telling one for Bitcoin. To my mind, the Clarity Act is less interesting than what the Fed decides and how Bitcoin reacts.
