2. Real Yields โ€” Finally Receding (๐ŸŸก)

Real yields have stopped rising and have begun a modest downward trend. This shift reflects:

  • Weak (but softening) labor market data
  • Slower growth expectations
  • Stable inflation expectations
  • Modest safe-haven buying in long bonds

This is an important regime change: the worst of real-yield headwinds appears behind us.

Crypto Impact:

  • BTC: Gains traction as real yields recede
  • ETH: Slowly regaining positive correlation
  • SOL: Starts to benefit, though remains risk-sensitive

Signal: ๐Ÿ”ด โ†’ ๐ŸŸก (shifting to supportive)
