While $BTC is trying to break through levels above $80,000, the macroeconomic situation globally is becoming increasingly tense. Will the inflows into ETFs outweigh the pressure from oil and a strong dollar? Let's break it down. 🧐

🛡 Macroeconomics: The main hurdles

According to CoinDesk's 'Daybook', the market is facing three challenges:

  • Oil factor: Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are keeping energy prices at highs. This inflates inflation, causing risk assets (crypto) to temporarily lose their appeal.

  • Dollar Index (DXY): The bounce back to 98.75 indicates that investors are still seeking refuge in cash.

  • Selling pressure: Anthony Scaramucci notes that despite demand from ETFs, large holders continue to take profits, following the logic of a 4-year cycle.

🇯🇵 Japan's 'joker' of 2026

Don't forget about Japan, where tectonic changes are currently happening:

  1. End of the cheap yen era: The anticipated rate hike by the Bank of Japan to 1% could trigger capital outflow from risk assets.

  2. Tax revolution: The expected drop in crypto income tax to 20% is a powerful signal for Japanese institutions.

  3. Hedge against devaluation: For locals, BTC in the BTC/JPY pair has already hit all possible highs, becoming the main refuge from the weak national currency.

📊 Technical outlook and forecast.

We are in the second year after the halving — historically, this is the time for the strongest moves.

  • Resistance level: $82,500. If we hold above this, the path to $100k is wide open. 📈

  • Support level: ETF funds have created a strong 'concrete floor' in the $72,000 - $75,000 range.

Conclusion: The temporary slowdown is just a breather before the next phase. Geopolitics may create noise, but the fundamental demand for BTC through ETFs remains unwavering.
