Bitcoin holds above $90 oil as dollar stays firm

Bitcoin is absorbing a fresh oil shock and higher yields without breaking, yet the firm dollar that keeps both in place is the real constraint on risk assets. Long-term holders are distributing at a faster clip while exchange inflows continue, and the leverage unwind has not cleared the supply. Gold’s slide under the same conditions shows the regime favors cash and duration over commodities or digital scarcity.

The contradiction sits in the data: Bitcoin holds price while gold does not, but neither is attracting fresh capital at scale. The open question is whether sustained distribution from profitable holders will eventually overwhelm the thin bid before the next macro repricing.
