Bitcoin Price on Edge as Bond Yields Soar

The BTC/USD pair has moved downwards in the past few days as the recent momentum waned. This retreat happened even after Strategy restarted its Bitcoin accumulation after a ten-week pause.

It also happened as investors continued accumulating Bitcoin ETFs. These funds added over $3.5 billion in inflows in August, the best performance this year, and a sign that demand is rising.

The weakness coincided with the ongoing sell-off in the bond market. In Japan, the ten-year jumped to a multi-decade high. The same is happening in other countries, including the United States and European countries.

Bond yields continued rising as the US and Iran continued their fighting, which pushed crude oil prices to the highest level in weeks. Brent, the global benchmark, rose to $95, with the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) hitting $90.6.
