Bitcoin Is Growing on the Back of DXY, Which Has Been Showing 99.86

We all watched Bitcoin decline after the massive tariffs imposed by Donald Trump and rebound when he eased them for everyone but China.

The U.S. dollar index (DXY) is down 0.15% on Wednesday, showing 99.86. The decline continues to reflect a mix of macroeconomic factors, beginning with the Trump trade war and its aftermath in terms of several systemic risks, inflation expectations, and forced Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

Thus, many investors see Bitcoin (BTC/USD) as a promising instrument, even amid its volatility.

What Is Happening in the Markets

We all watched Bitcoin decline after the massive tariffs imposed by Donald Trump and rebound when he began to ease them for everyone but China.

However, it seems that this movement is continuing because, while crypto and stock markets have experienced some relief, the key pressures remain.

For example, recently, we discussed how 10-year and even 30-year U.S. bond yields have risen, signaling a weakening of faith in U.S. economics and, as a consequence in its currency.

Interestingly, against this backdrop, European currencies and bonds are conversely showing strength. For example, referring to Europe’s key industrial giants, the yield on Germany’s 10-year bund has dropped to 2.55%.

Meanwhile, USD/EUR fell to 0.8812 (≈ 1.134 on EUR/USD), which is close to a 52-week low and may indicate capital flow into the euro.

The reason for this is the imposed tariffs and the way they break the usual trade arrangements and supply chains, as well as risk creating several systemic risks that we have discussed earlier.

Bitcoin is acting here in its core features as a deflationary decentralized instrument, which, although it shows a noticeable volatility, does not depend directly on the fiat financial system, Fed rates, and policies of the U.S. or any other country.

In particular, Bitcoin showed an increase of 5.3% for the day reaching almost $84,000, but is now slightly correcting at $83,700.

What Is Next for Bitcoin and the Markets

The fact that investors, even amid volatility, continue to prioritize Bitcoin, and we are seeing a small recovery is definitely good news. Still, it requires careful observation.

Stay tuned for updates, be adaptive in the rapidly evolving regulation, financial, and crypto landscape, and keep your strategy grounded, balanced, and beneficial.
