$BTC just slipped below $79,000.
The culprit? Rising bond yields.
And I want to explain why this actually matters โ and why it doesn't.
Bond yields rising means investors are demanding higher returns from "safe" assets like US Treasury bonds. When bonds pay more โ some capital rotates from risky assets like Bitcoin into bonds.
That's the short term story. Here's the long term reality.
Every time bond yields spike and Bitcoin dips โ long-term holders don't sell. They buy more.
Look at the data from this week:
โ
Exchange reserves: still at 7-year lows
โ
Long-term holder supply: still growing
โ
CLARITY Act: cleared committee โ heading to full Senate
โ
Fannie Mae: crypto as mortgage collateral โ live
โ
Total crypto market cap: $2.68 TRILLION
โ
BTC dominance: 58.3% โ rotation to alts incoming
Bond yields are a one-week story.
Institutional adoption is a decade story.
Analysts still call $86,500 by end of May if support holds at $77,000-$78,000.
๐ BTC right now:
โ Price: ~$78,800 โ below $79K
โ Support: $77,000-$78,000 โ must hold
โ Bond yield pressure: temporary
โ End of May target: $86,500
โ BTC dominance 58.3% โ altcoin rotation loading
Bond yields go up and down.
Bitcoin's direction is longer than a week.
