Bitcoin Above $79K; Gold Below $4,400 on Rising Yields

Bitcoin climbed above $79K while gold slipped under $4,400 as yields rose and risk appetite shifted.

What drove the move

Rising yields pressured non-yielding assets like gold, while risk assets benefited from flows favoring growth and speculative positioning.

What to watch

Monitor yield curves, dollar strength, and macro data releases. Reversals are common when rates move quickly.
