Bitcoin rallied on tame PPI inflation data that boosted rate cut hopes, but remains sensitive to Federal Reserve policy direction as the FOMC meeting approaches in two weeks. The dollar's stability and declining oil prices from Middle East tensions easing created favorable conditions for risk assets. Bitcoin's correlation with traditional markets stayed elevated during the rally, though crypto-specific factors like derivatives positioning suggest potential for relative outperformance. Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh's crypto literacy adds a new dimension to monetary policy considerations for digital assets.

Bitcoin moved in lockstep with stocks on inflation relief but showed independent strength through derivatives reset and institutional product innovation. The 46-day negative funding streak suggests Bitcoin may be ready to decouple positively from broader markets.

Long-term holders control approximately 78.5% of circulating supply (15.63M BTC), while short-term holders represent 4.32M BTC. Supply in profit stands at 91.79% of total circulating supply (18.31M BTC in profit versus 1.64M in loss), indicating strong network conviction and limited selling pressure from underwater positions. This distribution suggests mature market structure with significant accumulation by patient capital ahead of the April 2028 halving.
