Crypto Market Resilience and Potential Run-Up

The recent performance of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether is defying expectations. Despite rising bond yields, Bitcoin has been steadily climbing. This may be due to factors such as expectations of an approved spot ETF and increasing confidence in Bitcoin as a safe haven asset. The correlation between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remains high, meaning positive sentiment towards Bitcoin can impact the market as a whole. It is unclear whether this signals the start of a significant upward trend or a temporary market adjustment.
