Bitcoin continued its upward trend amid macroeconomic pressures, rising approximately 2% and breaking through $72,000, outperforming the US stock market. Meanwhile, Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 futures fell during Asian trading hours, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) rose above 100. This trend typically puts pressure on risk assets such as cryptocurrencies, but the crypto market as a whole still maintained an upward trend for the day. In the derivatives market, open interest (OI) in crypto futures increased by 5% to $107.6 billion in the past 24 hours, indicating continued capital inflows. Bitcoin OI rose to 687,200 BTC, the highest since February 25th; Ethereum OI rose to 13.72 million ETH. At the same time, open interest in futures for tokens such as XRP, SOL, ADA, and SUI also increased significantly. Furthermore, Bitcoin's 30-day annualized implied volatility (BVIV) fell to 55%, a two-week low, indicating reduced market volatility and creating conditions for further gains in spot prices. Meanwhile, the escalating conflict in Iran has kept oil prices around $100 per barrel, but Bitcoin has maintained relative stability amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties. (CoinDesk)
