RealVision crypto analyst Jamie Coutts said that a weak dollar could push Bitcoin higher, but there are two key indicators that may cause concerns in the short term. Despite the sharp drop in the dollar, my framework is becoming bullish, but two indicators are still causing alarm: the US Treasury bond volatility (MOVE index) and corporate bond spreads. Coutts describes Bitcoin as a game between central banks around the world, and despite these worrying indicators, the overall outlook remains cautiously bullish. The MOVE index is an indicator of expected volatility in the US Treasury bond market. Coutts noted that while the MOVE index is currently stable, it is trending upwards. An increase in bond volatility could lead to further liquidity tightening, and at the same time, corporate bond spreads have widened for three consecutive weeks. Reversals in significant corporate bond spreads typically coincide with Bitcoin price peaks. Coutts concludes that overall, these indicators present a negative signal for Bitcoin. However, the depreciation of the dollar - one of the largest monthly depreciations in the past 12 years - remains a key driver in my framework.

Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research Inc., who is known as a Wall Street prophet and a famous bull, has recently had a subtle change in his view on the US stock market. This once staunch bull who predicted the S&P 500 index would reach 7,000 points now says, "We cannot rule out the possibility that a bear market may have quietly begun." He further pointed out, "Trump's tariff 2.0 could trigger rare lightning crashes similar to those in 1962 and 1987. These crashes usually come quickly and the reversal is just as fast, so this may provide investors with buying opportunities on dips, especially for stocks that are overvalued but have recently fallen." It is worth noting that Yardeni has raised the possibility of a US economic recession and the stock market entering a bear market from the previous 20% to 35%, and has lowered the probability of the bull market continuing until 2025 from the previous 80% to 65%.
