🧭 Sovereignty Signal
Collateral Before Carry
A familiar split returned: the 10-yr yield rose to 4.35% while DXY slipped to 96.98, pointing to softening dollar conviction beneath nominal rate strength. Traders didn’t chase bonds or oil, they reinforced neutral-collateral hedges:
• Gold closed at $3,333.90, notching a quiet +0.26% gain on zero macro catalyst, signaling latent demand for metal-backed defense.
• Bitcoin held $107 K, proving resilient as altcoins rotated, sovereignty capital favored core crypto over high-beta noise.
• Oil fell 1.01% to $67.29, making it the least trusted in the hard-asset trinity.
Takeaway: When yield and dollar diverge, capital leans toward autonomous collateral like gold and BTC, not duration or barrels.

🧠 Sentiment Snapshot
Fear-&-Greed (crypto): 60 (Greed)
CoinCodex Sentiment: 61 (Bullish)
🧠 Concept Spotlight:
Post-holiday drift gaps form when closed equity tape forces crypto into thin, directionless moves. Without fresh volume, prices drift, often quickly reversing once markets reopen. Watch 4‑hour volume deltas. If they remain anemic, suspect a fade setup.
