Bitcoin Tumbles Below $64K Amid Soaring US Bond Yields and Hawkish Fed Bets
Bitcoin's price slid over 1.6% on Friday as it fell below $64,000 due to multiple macro headwinds.
The crypto market was under pressure from surging US bond yields and rising expectations of Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes.
Data from TradingView showed BTC/USD approaching $64,000 as bulls struggled to preserve recent gains.
Trading firm Mosaic Asset Company attributed the sell-off to increasing US Treasury yields, which it said was a key driver behind the decline in risk assets.
