Bitcoin surged past $77,000 as a failed bond fix attempt triggered a decisive risk-on rally across global markets. While equities like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq dipped slightly to -0.87% and -0.72% respectively amid uncertainty, crypto assets led the charge with Bitcoin gaining 6.44% to $77,718.53 and Ethereum climbing 2.91%. Commodities also benefited from the shifting sentiment, with gold rising 1.71% to $4,649.50 while oil and silver posted modest gains. The VIX dropped nearly 2% to 15.70, reflecting investor comfort despite a slight rise in US Treasury yields to 4.70%. Traders should watch for further volatility if the bond market stabilizes or if geopolitical tensions escalate.
