The cryptocurrency market experienced broad downward pressure, with Bitcoin falling below $83,000 and Ethereum breaking the $2,500 support level amid volatile trading. This decline was driven by macroeconomic headwinds, including elevated 10-year U.S. Treasury yields and a strengthening U.S. Dollar Index, which suppressed risk-asset liquidity. Concurrently, risk-off sentiment in U.S. equities—spurred by tech stock consolidation and doubts regarding OpenAI's revenue—weighed heavily on digital assets due to their strong correlation with traditional markets. Despite this short-term correction, Bitcoin's underlying bullish market structure remains intact, pointing toward potential consolidation before future strength.

Yesterday, these two major cryptocurrencies rallied noticeably during early U.S. stock trading, but have now retreated. This is primarily the result of major macroeconomic headwinds combining with a simultaneous pullback in tech stocks. Specifically, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained high (approaching 5.3%), which, combined with a strengthening U.S. Dollar Index, directly suppressed the liquidity premium of global high-beta risk assets and non-yielding assets.

Additionally, OpenAI revenue doubts and high-level consolidation in tech stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA) and Micron Technology (MU) spurred risk-off sentiment in U.S. equities, revealing once again the high correlation between the crypto market and U.S. stocks and dragging down the rebound in ETH and major altcoins. However, Bitcoin's technical pullback this time has not damaged its bullish structure, and it is expected to strengthen further after a brief consolidation.
