Bitcoin is finally doing what it’s supposed to do: outperforming equities. Stocks rolled over mid-week, with S&P 500 futures easing off record highs as traders worked through another batch of earnings, while BTC kept pressing higher.
The metals trade isn’t slowing down either. Silver ripped through $92 to fresh all-time highs, now up 30% YTD, and the related equity complex is following it higher. Supply is already tight and looks set to get tighter after China imposed new export restrictions, a big deal given China is a net exporter of silver.
On the crypto side, the move accelerated fast. Over $100m in BTC shorts were wiped out in the past hour as price pushed to $97k, levels we haven’t seen since November. At the same time, rising political and economic stress in places like Venezuela and Iran is putting Bitcoin’s safe-haven narrative squarely back in play. From a technical standpoint, we’ve raised daily support to $89,500, lining up with the prior triangle breakout and the 50-day MA. Upside targets move higher as well, now $99k initially, then $101k if momentum holds.
Flows are backing it up. Cooling inflation and post–year-end rebalancing are pulling institutional money back into crypto ETFs. U.S. spot BTC ETFs posted their largest daily inflows in three months on Tuesday, pulling in $753.7m. ETH ETFs joined the party with $130m of inflows, reflecting improving sentiment across the complex as macro tailwinds turn more supportive.
Lastly on policy, the noise is picking up in Washington. U.S. senators have filed more than 75 amendments ahead of this week’s crypto market structure hearing. Proposals range from banning stablecoin yields altogether, to limiting public officials’ crypto exposure, to redefining how mixers and tumblers are treated. Expect volatility on the headlines, but the broader trend remains constructive.
