đš BITCOIN STUMBLES UNDER $90K AS MACRO PRESSURE BUILDS
Bitcoin is back under $90,000, sliding nearly 5% this week as macro forces tighten their grip. What looked like a brief recovery turned into another reminder: BTC is trading like a high-beta risk asset, not digital gold.
Mid-week, markets caught a short burst of optimism after Trumpâs Davos remarks cooled tariff tensions with Europe. That sparked a quick risk-on bounce, pushing BTC back above $89K. But the relief didnât last.
đ Macro volatility is back in control.
Rising global bond yields â especially Japanâs 10-year yield hitting levels not seen since the late 1990s â triggered a risk-off rotation. When yields surge, liquidity tightens. And when liquidity tightens, leveraged positions get unwound fast.
That pressure hits crypto first. Always.
đ Stocks pull back
đȘ Crypto drops harder
đ„ Gold & silver rally as safe havens
Bitcoin is no longer moving independently itâs reacting to rates, geopolitics, and cross-market stress.
But the real weight this week? Institutional money is stepping back.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. saw $1.22 BILLION in outflows through Thursday â the biggest weekly withdrawal wave since November. Thatâs not retail panic. Thatâs big capital reducing exposure.
Less ETF demand = less structural buying support.
Put it together and the picture is clear:
â ïž Liquidity tightening
â ïž Bond yields rising
â ïž Institutional flows turning negative
BTC isnât crashing randomly. Itâs responding to a global shift in capital flows.
Until liquidity conditions improve, rallies may stay short-lived and volatility stays king.
