\/>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>US 30-year treasury yields spike to 4.98%, highest in recent years.<\/li>\n<li>Bitcoin could face $476 million in liquidations below $74,000.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly $1 billion in

concern across risk assets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"625\">Investors fled long-dated treasuries as 30-year yields climbed to 4.98%, marking their biggest jump in years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"625\">The backdrop: a surprise reintroduction of global tariffs by US President Donald Trump, which rattled markets already sensitive to inflation and debt risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"82\" data-end=\"625\">Analysts now warn of a liquidity crunch if Bitcoin drops below $74,000, where nearly $500 million worth of leveraged long positions are at risk of liquidation.<\/p>\n<h2>Yields hit 4.98% on tariff shock<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"1049\">US 30-year treasury yields jumped above 4.98% in response to Trump&rsquo;s announcement of fresh tariffs, reigniting fears of rising inflation and fiscal instability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"1049\">The move represents one of the largest single-day yield increases since 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"1049\">The surge comes as investors price in higher government borrowing costs and a potentially more protectionist US trade stance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1436\">The bond selloff was so sharp that some market watchers compared it to events from the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1436\">Jim Bianco, a well-known analyst, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/biancoresearch\/status\/1909821135115694159?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1909821135115694159%7Ctwgr%5E4279e6224b87aedad1b1c739bf40d0dd0c5c1128%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoinpedia.org%2Fnews%2Fbitcoin-drops-to-77k-as-tariffs-shake-markets-1b-in-liquidations-at-stake%2F\">noted on X<\/a> that the 30-year yield saw its biggest move since 1982 when interest rates were much higher.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1436\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1436\">He suggested the abrupt spike was likely caused by forced liquidations of bond holdings by large institutions rather than natural trading patterns.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin faces $476M liquidation risk<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1768\">Bitcoin, often seen as a hedge against traditional financial market turmoil, did not escape the fallout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1768\">The world&rsquo;s largest cryptocurrency fell about 2% in 24 hours, trading around $77,260 at the time of writing, with its market capitalisation down to $1.53 trillion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1768\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-290375\"

from Coinglass<\/a> shows that if Bitcoin dips below the $74,000 threshold, approximately $476 million in long positions could be liquidated, potentially triggering a cascade of margin calls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"2128\">Conversely, if Bitcoin rebounds and crosses $78,000, short sellers could be forced to cover their positions, putting an estimated $982 million at risk of liquidation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2130\" data-end=\"2313\">This tug-of-war between bulls and bears has made the market particularly sensitive to external shocks, such as those from the bond market or policy announcements from major economies.<\/p>\n<h2>Volatility ahead for crypto markets<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2595\">While volatility looms in the short term, some crypto analysts remain cautiously optimistic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2595\">Market participants are watching the $74,000&ndash;$78,000 range closely, as either break could set off a chain reaction in crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2597\" data-end=\"2879\">Ryan Lee of Bitget Research has projected that if pro-crypto conditions emerge and macroeconomic pressures ease, Bitcoin could climb to between $95,000 and $100,000 by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2597\" data-end=\"2879\">That would once again push the global crypto market&rsquo;s capitalisation beyond the $3 trillion mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2881\" data-end=\"3167\">In the meantime, the focus remains on how global investors react to the new US tariffs and whether long-dated treasuries continue to see selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2881\" data-end=\"3167\">A prolonged surge in yields could mean a broader risk-off sentiment, affecting not just Bitcoin, but also equities and commodities.<\/p>\n<h2>Macro risks drive market pressure<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3227\" data-end=\"3490\">With interest rates still elevated and inflation not fully under control, markets are increasingly vulnerable to policy shifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3227\" data-end=\"3490\">The recent selloff highlights how fragile investor sentiment remains, especially when major changes like tariffs re-enter the equation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3492\" data-end=\"3720\">Bitcoin&rsquo;s performance is now tightly linked to these macro shifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3492\" data-end=\"3720\">A move below key support could send shockwaves through decentralised finance markets and altcoins, which rely on Bitcoin&rsquo;s stability to sustain bullish momentum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3722\" data-end=\"3934\">At the same time, bond markets are no longer offering the safety net they once did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3722\" data-end=\"3934\">As yields rise, bond prices fall, meaning even so-called safe-haven assets can trigger losses under certain economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3936\" data-end=\"4176\">With Bitcoin straddling a tight technical range and treasuries under pressure, investors are navigating increasingly treacherous terrain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3936\" data-end=\"4176\">The next few days could determine whether the $77,000 level holds or gives way to a larger correction.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a
