Key Takeaways BTC declined more than 2.3% to approximately $63,919, breaching the $64,000 threshold Climbing US Treasury yields are amplifying market expectations for additional Federal Reser
Bitcoin (BTC) slipped beneath the $64,000 threshold on Saturday, with prices hovering around $63,919 based on Binance exchange data. The flagship cryptocurrency registered approximately 2.3% losses across a 24-hour period.
Bitcoin (BTC) PriceSelling pressure intensified following Friday’s Wall Street market open. Throughout the trading session, BTC/USD fluctuated within a band of approximately $63,703 to $65,396.
Trading outfit Mosaic Asset Company identified surging US Treasury yields as a primary catalyst behind the downturn. The two-year Treasury yield advanced to 4.31%, positioning itself considerably above the Federal Reserve’s existing target corridor.
Mosaic observed “significant movements rippling throughout the yield curve” notwithstanding a softer-than-anticipated Consumer Price Index reading. According to their analysis, elevated yields are exerting bearish pressure on equity indices and speculative assets including cryptocurrencies.
Market expectations reflected in CME Group’s FedWatch Tool indicate traders anticipate the central bank will maintain current policy at next week’s meeting. Nevertheless, a 0.25% rate increase is being priced for September, representing one of two anticipated hikes before the calendar year concludes.
Market commentator Ted, writing on X, emphasized the breakdown of the $65,000 support level. He stated: “BTC has lost the $65,000 support zone. The next key zone is $62,500–$63,000, which should hold for the next leg up in Bitcoin.” His commentary suggests market participants are monitoring this range intently as a prospective bottom.
