Dovish Federal Reserve commentary and market expectations of lower interest rates are supporting Bitcoin's recovery above $60,000, with softer labor market data and lower yields expected to push the dollar lower and support risk assets. This reflects a macro environment more favorable to speculative assets.
Bitcoin's sensitivity to real interest rates and dollar strength creates a structural relationship between monetary policy expectations and capital flows into the asset. When rate expectations shift lower or inflation concerns rise, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets decreases, supporting demand across risk assets.
