đš Bitcoin holds at $83,000 amid macroeconomic pressure: ZEC drops 12%, oil prices rise again đš
The crypto market started the week on edge. Bitcoin (BTC) dipped to $83,100, testing the lower bound of its consolidation range. Total market capitalization remains around $2.86 trillion, while the Fear & Greed Index stands at 74/100 ("Greed")âcontrasting with the stock market, where fear prevails.
đ What is happening with altcoins?
Biggest drops: $ZEC fell 12% (to ~$1,380). $SOL and $HYPE lost 3â4%, #DOGE dropped 3%, #bnb 2%, and #UNI and BCH fell nearly 10%. ETH and TRX remained flat.
Local gains: The Graph (GRT) surged 18%, while Immutable (IMX) gained nearly 10%.
đŁ Key drivers of market pressure:
1. US bond yields: The yield on 10-year Treasuries reached 5.25% (a high since 2007). High risk-free returns reduce interest in risk assets.
2. Brent crude spike: Prices rose to ~$107 per barrel due to a deadlock in negotiations with Iran. This heightens inflationary risks and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. 3. Anticipation of inflation data: The core PCE price indexâa key benchmark for the Fedâis due out on Wednesday. A "hot" report could trigger a fresh wave of selling.
đ Key levels for BTC:
$82,000: Support zone and retest of the May/September peaks.
Below $80,000: Settling below this level would signal prolonged weakness and a pause in the bull rally.
Above $90,000: If consolidation concludes with buying momentum, BTC will quickly head above $90K.
