Bitcoin впав нижче $77 тисяч
On Monday, the price fell below $77,000, continuing the downward trend that began over the weekend. The rise in global bond yields and oil prices, amid escalating tensions surrounding Iran, dampened investor interest in riskier assets. This was reported by Investing.
**Bond Yields Rise**
Investors reduced their exposure to speculative assets due to increasing concerns that rising energy prices could fuel global inflation, keeping interest rates elevated longer than anticipated. On Monday, oil prices soared above $110 per barrel following reports of drone incidents in the UAE and the breakdown of diplomatic talks regarding Iran.
The surge in energy costs triggered a significant sell-off of government bonds, with the yield on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds reaching its highest level since early 2025. Traders significantly lowered their expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, now predicting that rates will remain relatively unchanged for much of 2026, while futures markets began pricing in a growing likelihood of a rate hike this year.
The rise in yields diminished the appeal of cryptocurrencies and other high-risk assets, enhancing the attractiveness of safer fixed-income investments. U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that "time is running out" for Iran to reach an agreement with Washington, heightening fears of an escalation in regional conflict and ongoing disruptions to global oil supply routes.
Bitcoin still struggles to maintain levels above $80,000 despite consistent institutional interest and capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Investors were also cautious ahead of Nvidia's financial results coming out this week, which could impact overall market sentiment.
**Altcoins Decline Amid Risk Aversion**
Most altcoins also saw declines on Monday, reflecting the overall trend of risk aversion.
- Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, fell by 3% to trade at $2,122.12.
- The third-largest cryptocurrency dropped 1.5%, reaching $1,395.
- Solana saw a 2% decrease, while both Polygon and another token each fell by 1.5%.
- Among meme tokens, one fell by 2.8%.
