Bitcoin Holds $78,000 as Gold Rises, Altcoins Consolidate After Best Week in 3 Years 🚀
Bitcoin has stabilized near $77,800 after a strong +24% rally last week. The break of the 6-week flat was triggered by the US Treasury’s decision to double its long-term bond purchases, triggering a $3 billion+ short squeeze in 24 hours.
🔑 Key Market Takeaways:
➡️ Macro Correction: Gold is trading near all-time highs as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant’s debt strategy weighs on 30-year bond yields. Equities lag behind.
➡️ Derivatives: #BTC open interest (OI) fell from 762k to 715k BTC. This suggests that spot buying and short-closing, not shoulder-pushing, was driving the market. Funding rates are moderate (~10%).
➡️ Fear Index: BTC’s 30-day implied volatility (BVIV) has abnormally increased from 36% to 47% right during the rally.
➡️ Dominance: Altseason Index is at 42/100, with BTC dominance holding at 59.2%.
📊 Altcoin Dynamics:
$ZEC (+70% wk): The only top alt where open interest has been growing significantly with price, showing aggressive buying momentum (CVD).
$ENA : Last week’s top runner, doubling to $1.79 after a long decline.
$AAVE (+62% wk): Holding at $140.68 after a strong weekly breakout.
#xrp (-2.8% y/y): Rebounds to $1.48 after a 47% weekly jump. #hype ($79.59): Locks in profits after rallying to $83.30 on news of CFTC regulation.
