Analysis: Bitcoin oscillates between favorable regulation and rising yields, and ETF outflows continue to weigh on prices
ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin price maintained around $80,350, up only 0.8% in the short term, and continued to be under pressure after multiple failed attempts to break through the $82,000 resistance level. This range is seen as a superimposed resistance level of the ETF cost line, the 200-day EMA, and the CME gap covering area. Although the CLARITY Act has passed the Senate Banking Committee, bringing positive expectations for crypto regulation, institutional funds continue to withdraw.
According to the data, the 7-day average of net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States fell to -$88 million per day, the largest outflow since mid-February. Analysts believe that this round of selling pressure is more inclined to "profit-taking" rather than panic selling. At the macro level, rising U.S. Treasury yields have become a core source of pressure. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose to about 4.52%, a 10-month high, while the CPI rose 3.8% year-on-year in April, the highest level in three years, and market expectations for a Fed rate cut were further delayed.
Analysts pointed out that geopolitical conflicts have pushed up energy prices and exacerbated inflationary pressures, thereby weakening the attractiveness of risk assets. In terms of institutional views, some analysts believe that the current ETF outflow is a portfolio rebalancing rather than a trend retreat. The options market shows that Bitcoin faces significant resistance in the $82,000–$84,000 range, with $77,000 as a key support level. If the price falls below this range and the leverage does not cool down, the market may enter a deleveraging stage, exacerbating the risk of a pullback.

Fidelity investment managers bet on rising inflation to profit before the Iran war broke out
Before the outbreak of the Iran war, Mike Riddle, portfolio manager at Fidelity International, was skeptical of the view that global price pressures were easing. His bet against the trend at the time, inflation was about to rise, has now paid off handsomely.
A few months ago, he bought inflation swap contracts in the United States and the United Kingdom, essentially to protect against the risk of higher-than-expected inflation. This is because he believes that the bond market (and most of his peers) was seriously underestimating inflation risks before the war in Iran caused oil prices to soar above $100 a barrel.
Riddle said in an interview: "Considering the multiple interest rate cuts expected by global investors, the risk of conflict in the Middle East is definitely not reflected in interest rates. Despite slightly reducing his position, he still holds inflation swap contracts. (Jin Shi)
