RealVision crypto analyst Jamie Coutts said that a weak dollar could push Bitcoin higher, but there are two key indicators that may cause concerns in the short term. Despite the sharp drop in the dollar, my framework is becoming bullish, but two indicators are still causing alarm: the US Treasury bond volatility (MOVE index) and corporate bond spreads. Coutts describes Bitcoin as a game between central banks around the world, and despite these worrying indicators, the overall outlook remains cautiously bullish. The MOVE index is an indicator of expected volatility in the US Treasury bond market. Coutts noted that while the MOVE index is currently stable, it is trending upwards. An increase in bond volatility could lead to further liquidity tightening, and at the same time, corporate bond spreads have widened for three consecutive weeks. Reversals in significant corporate bond spreads typically coincide with Bitcoin price peaks. Coutts concludes that overall, these indicators present a negative signal for Bitcoin. However, the depreciation of the dollar - one of the largest monthly depreciations in the past 12 years - remains a key driver in my framework.

JPMorgan Securities raised its year-end forecast for the yield on Japan's benchmark 10-year government bonds from 1.55% at the end of January to 1.7%, believing that US policies may bring various risks. It is predicted that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates in June and December, but actions that the US may take could complicate the situation; if tariffs put pressure on global economic growth, it may hinder the Bank of Japan from raising rates, but if Japan is accused of letting the yen depreciate, it may hastily raise rates, fixed income research director Takashi Yamawaki and strategist Hiroki Yamamoto wrote in a report on March 10.

Cesar Ruiz, Chief Investment Officer of Pictet Group in Switzerland, believes that there will be both traps and opportunities in 2025. Many economists are concerned that the tariff policies promoted by the Trump administration will cause inflation, but Ruiz is confident in market growth. He believes that in the first half of the year, the uniqueness of the United States will remain strong, and the growth of the U.S. stock market will be sufficient to allow investors to achieve steady returns. Ruiz compares the new Treasury Secretary, Yellen, to Ben Bernanke, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve during the global financial crisis. Bernanke "was the best person for the job at the right time. Yellen is also the same." Ruiz expects that there will be large-scale consolidation among mid-sized financial companies in the United States, making it a good time to buy stocks of potential acquisition targets. With Trump cutting regulations, mergers and acquisitions will increase significantly alongside IPOs, providing good opportunities for investment banks or trading targets. (Jinshi)
