However, the sole competitor of Bitcoin,i.e., the U.S. dollar, provided trouble to other financial markets consisting of commodities (Gold faced the loss of 1.50%) and an overall crypto market conditions. The U.S. Dollar has performed positively against several major other centralized currencies due to notable positive moves in U.S. bond yields hurting the other investing assets. The treasury yield curve has witnessed a significant increase within a short timeframe by 20-22 basis points. The reason behind this positive move is assumed as substantial repressing of yields by Fed policy.
