This occurred as the broader crypto market fell about 3% over the same period, based on the CoinDesk 20 index, and spot bitcoin ETFs registered roughly $4.29 billion of outflows this month. At the same time, exchange-traded funds offering HYPE exposure recorded about $164 million of inflows.

The Dollar Index rose from 99.52 to over 101.30 since the Iran peace deal announcement. Over the same period, BTC traded near $52,300 and gold hovered near $4,000. These movements in the Dollar, bitcoin and gold were reported for the same trading period.
Robin Brooks said on X, “The Dollar should have been falling after the peace deal, with safe haven inflows turning to outflows from the US, but the first Warsh Fed meeting changed all that. Speculative positioning is max long the Dollar.” “Lopsided bullish positioning often signals a market top or imminent reversal. The dollar could come quickly drop if key releases such as the jobs report show even modest signs of slowdown, denting expectations for Fed rate cuts.” “A weaker dollar could potentially put a floor under bitcoin and gold.” “We’re currently at peak dollar strength, economist says.”
