Exchange inflows rise amid Hormuz oil blockade and dollar gains.
V. Outlook
Bitcoin price stalls at $81,000 as exchange inflows build supply pressure while Hormuz blockade locks Brent above $106 per barrel, forcing central banks toward tighter policy that erodes BTC purchasing power.Trading Economics Dollar strength at DXY 98.3 compounds this, drawing capital to yields now pressing 4.46 percent on the 10-year despite gold's climb past $4,700.Yahoo Finance Network holds firm with hashrate nearing 1,000 EH/s and Lightning capacity expanding five percent to roughly 2,900 BTC, yet Fear at 42 underscores leveraged exhaustion without breakout volume.1ML Investors ignore the split: on-chain resilience versus macro drag that favors fiat havens over range-bound crypto.
