Bitcoin targets $100K on bond calm.
Bitcoin's bullish case is strengthening because U.S. Treasury bond-market volatility has fallen to its lowest since late 2021, with the MOVE index at 58. Historically Bitcoin has an inverse relationship with this volatility gauge, and with bond volatility out of the way, focus returns to institutional inflows and domestic regulatory progress. Analysts see a rally toward $100,000, and Bitcoin was already trading above $96,000, up about 10% year-to-date.

Tech and crypto benefit from bond calm.
Cooling bond market turbulence is a massive tailwind for risk assets, as stable Treasury prices typically ease credit and encourage investors to move capital back into growth sectors such as technology and crypto.
