Bitcoin traded near $64,100, up 1% on the day, maintaining its level above $64,000 despite rising bond yields and climbing oil prices that typically reduce appetite for risk assets. The 30-year US Treasury yield hit 5.33%, its highest since 2007, while Brent crude oil topped $91 a barrel amid escalating US-Iran tensions. These factors usually push investors away from riskier assets like cryptocurrencies, yet Bitcoin remains relatively stable and even positive, suggesting some fresh buying interest. A break above $64,500 could indicate stronger resilience, but rising oil and yields continue to pose risks to crypto's momentum.
