what happened

According to Market Talk, bitcoin recovered modestly in the morning Asian session even as the technology selloff continued. Cryptocurrencies fell earlier this week as worries about AI pushed investors away from riskier assets. Inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs, however, point to improving institutional demand that has helped soften the losses.

Kudo.com analyst Konstantinos Chrysikos says that resilient US data could strengthen expectations of Fed tightening, lifting yields and weighing on bitcoin. He adds that next week's Fed decision and earnings from Alphabet and Amazon could determine whether bitcoin breaks out of its recent range. At the time of reporting, bitcoin was up 0.7% at $81,758.

why it matters

The link between crypto and rate expectations matters for markets: strong US data pushes yields up and pressures risk assets. The tech selloff and rotation into Treasuries also set the tone across markets.
