Bitcoin price dives under $79K as US bond market triggers 3% BTC price rout Bitcoin joined stocks in a sell-off over US bond yields as BTC price action eyed its lowest levels for May after giving up gains. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $80,000 at Friday’s Wall Street open as analysis tied risk-asset weakness to US bond markets. Key points: - Bitcoin eyes its lowest levels of May as concerns over US bond yields spark a risk-asset rout. - US 10-year treasury yields rise above levels that sparked a US tariff pause on China last year. - Traders wait for new local lows for BTC/USD as support stability is eroded. Bitcoin suffers as risk-asset "euphoria" turns sour Data from TradingView tracked 3% daily BTC price losses, with downside intensifying as the US session began. BTC/USD approached its lowest levels in May so far. BTC/USD one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Stocks also gave back gains after hitting new all-time highs earlier in the week.

The US 10Y Note Yield is now officially above 4.55% for the first time since May 2025,” it wrote in a post on X. “After weeks of euphoria, the market is beginning to react today. As we have been stating for the last few weeks, the current situation in the bond market is unsustainable.” US 10-year treasury note yield one-day chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Kobeissi noted that yields were now above levels seen in April 2025, when US President Donald Trump halted the implementation of trade tariffs on China. That move, it said, came due to “a collapsing bond market.” “Furthermore, the market now sees a 60%+ chance that the Fed's next move is an interest rate HIKE, with rate cuts entirely priced-out,” the post added. “We expect to see 7%+ mortgages next, all as auto loan delinquencies have reached 32-year highs.

BTC price lows back on the radar As Cointelegraph reported, traders were already unsure about Bitcoin’s ability to climb beyond $82,000 local highs. A support retest was already on the cards, and targets on the day extended toward the mid-$70,000 zone. “Honestly, not a good sign that $BTC fully retraced the move from yesterday,” trader Pat told X followers.
