Bitcoin slips toward 79K as Treasury yields and oil surge spark broad risk off selling

Bitcoin slips toward 79K as Treasury yields and oil surge spark broad risk off selling

Bitcoin drifted toward $79,000 as rising US Treasury yields, renewed inflation worries, and high oil prices triggered a risk-off mood across global markets. The pullback followed a failed attempt to regain the $82,000–$82,500 resistance band, with trading around $78,799. In 24 hours, Bitcoin fell about 2% and Ethereum slipped 1%. Overall crypto market value fell roughly 2% to $2.63 trillion, while analysts flagged ETF flows, macro liquidity, and on-chain behavior as key for the next move.
