Bitcoin slides back to $84K after strong U.S. business activity report
Market context: BTC: Bitcoin directly slid to $84K in reaction to the stronger-than-expected U.S. business activity report, which signals economic strength and potentially less accommodative Fed policy. A stronger U.S. PMI reading reduced expectations for near-term rate cuts, pressuring risk assets including Bitcoin back to the $84K level. SPY: A strong U.S. business activity report affects broad equity sentiment and rate-cut expectations, which in turn pressured Bitcoin and other risk assets. Hotter economic data reduces Fed dovish bets, which can weigh on equities via higher discount rates even as it signals economic strength. DXY: Stronger U.S. economic activity tends to support the dollar by reducing expectations for rate cuts and attracting capital flows. A robust U.S. PMI report likely supports the dollar as rate-cut pricing declines.
