According to ChainCatcher, despite macroeconomic pressures from a stronger U.S. dollar, rising oil prices, and increasing U.S. Treasury yields, Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience, maintaining its price above $71,000. Data shows that the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the strength of the dollar, has reclaimed the 100 level, while the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has risen above 4.2%. Meanwhile, Brent and WTI crude oil prices are nearing $100 per barrel, intensifying market concerns over inflation and rising interest rates. Nevertheless, since the escalation of Middle East conflicts on March 1, Bitcoin has remained one of the best-performing macro assets. Among crypto-related stocks, publicly traded Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy (MSTR) rose approximately 1% in pre-market trading, having recently raised funds through the issuance of perpetual preferred securities to acquire an additional 11,000 BTC this week. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) climbed about 2%, while Bitcoin mining companies transitioning into AI businesses, IREN and Cipher Digital, saw slight declines.
