According to data from CryptoQuant, Bitcoin is showing signs of decoupling from traditional macro factors. Although the yields on US Treasury bonds for 5 years, 10 years, and 30 years are at historically high levels and the DXY US Dollar Index is experiencing significant volatility – factors that usually cause risk assets like crypto to adjust – the price of BTC continues its upward trend.
Typically, when the DXY and bond yields rise together, the crypto market tends to decline as money flows out of risky assets. Conversely, when these two indicators weaken, expectations for loose monetary policy will stimulate money to return to the market.
However, the current cycle is showing a divergence: Bitcoin continues to rise even when yields are high. This suggests that BTC is increasingly being viewed as a store of value, rather than just a speculative asset sensitive to macro fluctuations.
