Bitcoin's Biggest Day Since March — And Crypto News Didn't Cause It

Bitcoin just posted its biggest day since March — and the catalyst wasn't a

crypto headline. It was the bond market.

Bitcoin sits near $71,800, up about 11%. The Treasury Department surprised

markets Wednesday, announcing it will at least double long-term bond buybacks

from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. Long-term borrowing costs — fresh off

a nearly 20-year high — dropped immediately. The 30-year yield slid to roughly

5.2%.

Markets read it as support. Traders short Bitcoin got caught badly: over $1

billion in bearish positions erased in roughly an hour, the biggest wipeout on

record. Ethereum ran even harder, up about 19%.

Then the contradiction. Hours later, Fed minutes revealed several officials

wanted to hike rates last month. The Treasury is pushing borrowing costs down

while the Fed debates pushing them up. That conflict is the real story.

Overnight, the White House announced a new economic pressure operation against

Iran. Brent crude jumped over 2% toward $94. Higher oil means higher inflation

pressure — the exact thing the Fed hawks are pointing at.

Next up: Walmart earnings this morning. After soft July retail sales, it's the

cleanest read available on the American consumer.
