"The U.S. 2-year Treasury yield surged to 4.09%, its highest level in nearly a year, just as Bitcoin failed again to reclaim a major technical breakout zone above $82,000. Is the treasury yield the reason why Bitcoin can't break out? Rising Treasury Yields Are Draining Risk Appetite Treasury yields have moved higher in recent weeks, and that is beginning to weigh on Bitcoin's momentum."
"When the yield is rising, it means institutional money is repricing the timeline for rate cuts, pushing them further out, or abandoning the expectation entirely. At 4.09%, the signal is hard to ignore. Investors who might otherwise tolerate the volatility that comes with holding are now holding short-dated government paper that pays above 4% with essentially zero risk."
"At the same time, the 10-year Treasury yield climbed past 4.5%, reaching levels not seen in about a year and adding to concerns that inflation pressures may still be lingering. Historically, Bitcoin thrives when liquidity is loose and borrowing costs are falling. Neither of those conditions is true right now."
"From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin's inability to close a single day above its 200-day moving average is becoming a problem. At press time, Bitcoin was changing hands around $77,984, marking a roughly 3.59% decline over the last 24 hours. The drop came shortly after BTC briefly climbed above the $82,000 level following news that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee had moved the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act forward in a bipartisan 15-9 vote."
U.S. 2-year Treasury yields rose to 4.09%, the highest level in nearly a year, while the 10-year yield climbed above 4.5%. Higher yields signal that rate cut expectations are being pushed further out or abandoned, reducing liquidity and borrowing conditions that typically support Bitcoin. Investors can hold short-dated government paper with returns above 4% and minimal risk, making risk assets less attractive. Bitcoin failed to reclaim a major technical breakout zone above $82,000 and could not close above its 200-day moving average. Even positive regulatory momentum did not translate into sustained price strength.
