Trader Notes:

Analyst Benjamin Cowen admits in a podcast that he did not expect Bitcoin to break above the $83,000 level but says holding the former high as support would make this cycle look very different from the typical Q4 weakness seen in midterm years.

Cowen highlighted an unusual relationship between Bitcoin and long-term Treasury yields since 2025. Since 2025, BTC has often performed relatively well while long-term yields rise.

Rather than weakening as yields rise, Bitcoin has recently tended to struggle when yields begin falling amid growing concerns about economic growth.
