The US dollar index rises to its highest level since April 2025, and short-term liquidity pressure on BTC continues to increase.
On October 5, the US dollar index’s intraday high touched 102.53, setting a highest level since April 2025.
A strengthening dollar → greater appeal of dollar-denominated assets → higher global funding costs → pressure on risk assets → slowing BTC capital inflows → limited upside room for a rebound.
Now we also need to look at WTI and US Treasury yields. If oil prices stay around $90, Treasury yields may continue to rise; if the dollar index holds above 102, the market may start re-pricing expectations for inflation and tighter liquidity.
However, a stronger dollar doesn’t necessarily mean BTC will fall immediately—the key is BTC’s own price structure and capital flows.
If the dollar continues to strengthen while BTC breaks below key support, be alert to a larger pullback. If the dollar spikes and then pulls back, and yields weaken in tandem—while BTC capital flows return—the market pressure will only then ease.
My view is that 102.53 is the macro signal that should be重点ly watched in the short term.
Next, focus on three variables: the US dollar index, US Treasury yields, and BTC spot capital flows.
The combination of a strengthening dollar + rising yields + BTC capital outflows is the least favorable setup for BTC.
