Bitcoin Just Flashed a $5 Million Warning--Here's What Traders Are Betting on Next
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with TSN.
Some market watchers see the retreat as part of a broader consolidation phase rather than a breakdown. According to FxPro's Alex Kuptsikevich, the correction is healthy and necessary after recent highs. Even if the total crypto market cap falls back to $3.4 trilliondown from the $4 trillion peakit would still likely be viewed as profit-taking, not panic selling. That level remains a key threshold to watch for longer-term trend direction. The jobs data also ended a seven-day Asian equities rally, underscoring just how sensitive risk assets have become to shifting macro signals.
Meanwhile, the derivatives market is flashing signs of rising caution. Prime broker FalconX reported a $5 million put option trade on Deribit, betting on Bitcoin falling to $110,000 by August 8. It's a notable hedge that reflects growing two-way risk. We expect to see further consolidation while Bitcoin remains below monthly trendline resistance, currently at around $125,000, said Tony Sycamore of IG Australia. That same level capped Bitcoin's last breakout attemptadding to the technical ceiling traders are watching as the next test of market conviction.

U.S. Treasury yields jump 6 to 8 bps amid shocking multi-billion outflows
U.S. Treasury yields jump 6 to 8 bps amid shocking multi-billion outflows originally appeared on TheStreet. Stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar have begun influencing yields on the U.S. Treasury bills, as per a working paper published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) on May 28. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that strive to keep their prices stable by being linked to a fiat currency like the USD or a commodity like gold. USD-pegged stablecoins, which dominate the segment, are mostly backed by U.S. Treasury securities. Considered one of the world's safest investments, these securities are debt instruments issued by the U.S. government to raise money. When you buy one, you're essentially lending money to the government in return for yields. Notably, the USD-pegged stablecoins purchased nearly $40 billion in T-bills in 2024, even eclipsing countries like Japan, Singapore, and Germany. The BIS paper says the surge and dip in the demand for USD-pegged stablecoins have evidently been influencing yields on 3-month Treasury per the empirical analysis based on daily data during January 2021 to March 2025, BIS says an inflow of $3.5 billion into stablecoins is associated with 3-month T-bill yields falling by up to 2-2.25 basis points (bps) within 10 days. Outflows into stablecoins tend to have a quantitatively larger impact on Treasury yields than inflows, the paper highlights. For example, an outflow of the same magnitude from stablecoins is associated with 3-month T-bill yields soaring by 6-8 bps. The paper didn't find the stablecoin flows impacting yields on long-term, say 2-year and 5-year, Treasury instruments. However, there is limited evidence of a spillover effect on the 10-year debt yields. The stablecoin market is worth more than $265 billion at the time of writing; Tether's USDT and Circle's (NYSE: CRCL) USDC are the largest stablecoins. The BIS paper notes that USDT flows impact yields the most, with an average contribution of 70% on T-bill yields. USDC flows come next with a 19% contribution on yields.

Gold hovers near 3-week low as trade war fears ebb, dollar firms
Gold prices were little changed on Tuesday, hovering near a three-week low, as easing fears of a global tariff war and a stronger dollar dampened bullion's safe-haven appeal. Spot gold held its ground at $3,318.79 per ounce, as of 0210 GMT. Bullion hit its lowest level since July 9 in the previous session. U.S. gold futures edged 0.2% higher to $3,317.50. "Gold trading at circa $3,300 or below is still getting the attention of buyers. While short-term market dynamics courtesy of trade deals and a stronger USD aren't helping gold, looking further ahead there is still upside potential," KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials met in Stockholm on Monday for more than five hours of talks aimed at resolving longstanding economic disputes at the centre of a trade war between the world's top two economies, seeking to extend a truce by three months. The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade. The U.S. dollar index held near a more than one-week high, making gold costlier for buyers holding other currencies. Investors are awaiting a set of U.S. macroeconomic data this week, including inflation figures and the employment report, alongside the Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting beginning later in the day, with expectations largely pointing to rates being held steady. If weaker U.S. macro data emerges or Trump's criticisms of the Fed inspire the central bank to adopt a more dovish tone this week, that could be positive for gold, Waterer said. Spot silver was down 0.2% at $38.10 per ounce, while platinum gained 0.5% to $1,396.35 and palladium fell 1.2% to $1,231.55.
