Bitcoin Price Surges Amid Treasury Real Rates Shift, Fidelity Study
Key Summary
Bitcoin has rebounded from $80,000 to $82,000 after a new macro signal from Fidelity found its correlation with 10-year Treasury real rates has reached a record high, potentially flipping its price prediction. The shift is attributed to the US debt burden, now above $40 trillion, and rising real yields that have often pressured risk assets.
Bitcoin Price Rebound
Bitcoin is trading at $82,000, rebounding from $80,000 since yesterday morning, as traders weigh a new macro signal that could flip its price prediction. According to Fidelity, Bitcoin’s correlation with 10-year Treasury real rates has climbed to a new record.
Market Context
The link matters because rising real yields have often pressured risk assets; this time, the relationship has flipped. Fidelity also ties the shift to the US debt burden, now above $40 trillion.
Bitcoin’s Performance
Bitcoin fell below $80,000 after hotter-than-expected inflation lifted Treasury yields and hit technology stocks, then recovered toward $82,000. Liquidations neared $944 million in 24 hours, with long positions accounting for most forced exits.
Fidelity’s Research
Fidelity’s research found Bitcoin’s market-cap correlation with the 10-year real rate above 0.6, while Bitcoin rose nearly 30% and Treasury rates gained more than 10% over the two months.
Near-Term Outlook
The near-term chart remains unsettled: bids around $80,000 helped absorb the inflation shock, but yields and equity weakness still threaten risk appetite. The real-rate finding gives traders a macro framework, but can Bitcoin hold its rebound if yields keep climbing?
