Macro Pressure Has Arrived 📉

Last week, BTC held up impressively — closing just -0.65% and outperforming traditional risk assets. But this week’s sell-off suggests that was only a delayed reaction.

🔹 BTC/S&P ratio surged near ATHs, showing clear relative strength.
🔹 With equities deeply oversold, a relief rally might compress this spread.
🔹 Near-term BTC funding & open interest hint at increased volatility ahead.

Still, we remain optimistic on Q2 👀
