Important move in the U.S. that could hit BTC and gold
The Treasury announced that it will increase its purchases of long-term bonds.
The first reaction was:
📉 Yields ↓
💵 Dollar ↓
And this is interesting for gold and Bitcoin.
Gold 🥇
Lower yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, and if the dollar keeps losing strength, it could give the price more fuel.
Bitcoin
If yields continue to fall and financial conditions ease, the environment could become more favorable for BTC and other risk assets.
Right now I would be looking mainly at:
10Y ↓ + DXY ↓ = favorable context for BTC and gold.
But note: this doesn’t automatically mean the Fed is doing QE. The Treasury is acting on the bond market, and it’s important to separate the two.
👀 The reaction of the 10Y and DXY will tell us much more than the headline.#NFA #DYOR
