How Bitcoin fits into the macro picture
Bitcoin is testing key resistance as the Fed approaches its April 29 meeting, with rate path expectations driving dollar weakness that has supported risk assets. Real yields remain elevated but declining, providing a tailwind for monetary alternatives like Bitcoin. The 14-day Coinbase premium streak suggests institutional allocators are positioning ahead of potential Fed dovishness, while retail flows remain muted compared to institutional demand. Global M2 growth continues to provide underlying support for hard assets as central banks maintain accommodative stances despite inflation persistence.
Bitcoin is tracking risk assets but outperforming on relative basis, with the Coinbase premium indicating decoupling from broader crypto beta toward institutional-grade asset status.

Bitcoin hit an 11-week high at $79,000 with $180 million in short liquidations at risk if the level breaks. The move above key technical resistance at $78,333 cleared the path for momentum traders, but the real signal is positioning: short interest has built to levels that historically resolve through forced buying rather than gradual unwinding.
