Amidst a 11% rise in Bitcoin (BTC) over the past week, emerging analysis suggests that increasing US bond yields could negatively impact the price of BTC. Yuya Hasegawa, an analyst at the Japanese crypto exchange Bitbank, explained that "if US Treasury yields continue to rise, they could become more attractive than riskier assets like Bitcoin." In this scenario, investors may pull funds out of cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other investments to put into US bonds. Hasegawa added that concerns are also being raised because "US retail sales beat expectations, while new jobless claims fell, raising concerns that the Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates as aggressively as expected." If the Federal Reserve does not cut interest rates as expected, it could lead to a stronger US dollar, which would further put pressure on the price of Bitcoin. It is important to note that the relationship between US bond yields and the price of Bitcoin is complex and not always straightforward. However, the analysis from Hasegawa suggests that investors should be aware of the potential risks that rising bond yields could pose to the price of Bitcoin. ```
