⚡Monday Macro: An Analysis⚡

With equities under pressure, a persistently cautious Fed, and the U.S. credit rating highlighting Washington's fiscal vulnerabilities, Trump seems to be feeling the heat.

On Saturday, the president lashed out at Walmart for raising prices in response to tariffs, even indicating his willingness to travel to China to resume trade negotiations.

However, #Bitcoin remains relatively well, briefly reaching $107,000 on Sunday. The initial surge was likely triggered by Metaplanet's purchase of $104 million, which added to Strategy's usual weekend accumulation.

That said, the movement, which also caused an increase in perpetual funding rates, was fleeting. Traders with long positions took the opportunity to secure profits, leading to liquidations in leveraged long positions.

While Bitcoin has regained its weekend gains during trading in Asia, it remains firmly within its recent range, driven by a notable uptick in institutional demand. #ETFs continue to attract inflows, indicating strong underlying support.

What is surprising is its ability to rebound over the weekend despite the risk aversion in equities following the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating by Moody's.

This reinforces its positioning as a legitimate store of value, a narrative that continues to gain traction and could serve as a long-term catalyst.

Despite the sideways price fluctuations and persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, cryptocurrency volatility remains relatively high. In particular, the buying trend for Bitcoin remains intact across most timeframes, suggesting a structurally bullish outlook.
