Bitcoin Price Down Amid Oil Price Surge and Rising Yields

The Bitcoin price today is $83,756, down 0.40% in 24 hours, and the total crypto market cap also eased 0.25% to $2.87 trillion.

The main pressure on Bitcoin's price is macroeconomic factors, including rising oil prices and Treasury yields due to Middle East tensions. Brent crude has traded near $100 ($97.5), up 1.5%, and higher energy costs raise inflation worries, supporting a firmer Fed stance and weighing on assets that pay no yield, like Bitcoin.

Other factors adding to the drag include profit-taking, with falling open interest pointing to traders cutting leverage, and regulation, as GENIUS Act stablecoin rules, SEC and CFTC guidance, and Commissioner Peirce's exit could bring short-term uncertainty.
