Bitcoin Faces Unfavorable U.S. Yield Backdrop as Markets Price 60% Chance of Rate Hike This Year, Darkfost Says

Bitcoin is facing what analyst Darkfost described as its most unfavorable U.S. bond yield environment since inception, as Treasury yields remain elevated and expectations for tighter policy persist. According to NS3.AI, Darkfost said markets are pricing in a 60% probability of a rate hike for this year. The report added that U.S. Treasury yields have been fluctuating between 4.5% and 5%, a range that can reduce the appeal of risk assets by offering comparatively attractive returns in U.S. government bonds.
