Bitcoin slipped under $82,000 while bond yields climbed to 24-year highs, driven by sharp oil price gains and a hot U.S.
Bitcoin fell below $82,000 amid rising oil prices and a sharp U.S. CPI reading that has pushed bond yields toward 24‑year highs.
The surge in oil prices contributed to inflationary pressure, prompting the Fed to maintain a hawkish stance, while bond markets reacted with steep yield increases.
Traders may monitor Bitcoin’s response to further inflation data and the trajectory of U.S. Treasury yields, as the crypto asset remains sensitive to macro‑economic signals.
