In a market already fragile with Fear & Greed at 34 and a slightly bearish sentiment, any indication of policy intervention to control yields could shift liquidity expectations. Lower yields typically reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like Bitcoin, and a weaker dollar narrative often correlates with crypto inflows. This is part of a broader macro backdrop where fiscal dominance and debt sustainability concerns are becoming more prominent.
