Last month, after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a two-basis-point interest rate cut, renowned investor and former Soros deputy Stanley Druckenmiller publicly stated that he is shorting U.S. Treasuries. This news quickly sparked widespread attention and discussion in the financial markets, becoming a market focal point.
Currently, the intertwining of the U.S. economic and political situation has further intensified market uncertainty. With Trump potentially returning to the White House in January 2025, the issue of U.S. Treasuries is considered a potential 'market trigger'. The evolution of this situation may have far-reaching implications for Bitcoin's price trend.
U.S. Treasury issues become the focus: the possibility of funds flowing back to the bond market increases.
Currently, the intertwining of the U.S. economic and political situation has further intensified market uncertainty. With Trump potentially returning to the White House in January 2025, the issue of U.S. Treasuries is considered a potential 'ticking time bomb' for the next wave of market turbulence. Under the Biden administration, government spending continues to rise, and the issuance of U.S. Treasuries is becoming increasingly significant, while whether the Republican Party can effectively respond to this fiscal challenge becomes a key observation point for the market.
Over the past few decades, the U.S. has relied on a debt-driven economic model to export the dollar; however, the recent rise in Treasury yields indicates a decline in their attractiveness. Many countries are reducing their dependence on U.S. Treasuries, and if the Treasury market collapses with no new buyers to support it, the global financial system may face significant risks.
Druckenmiller's short position may be a forward-looking layout aimed at addressing the potential outbreak of risks.
In the past two months, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries has been continuously rising.
Christmas season: Bitcoin may be affected, and short-term prices face volatility risks.
Market observations indicate that rising U.S. Treasury yields may attract funds back to the bond market, thereby reducing the inflow of funds to risk assets like Bitcoin. Additionally, the upcoming Christmas season may also impact Bitcoin prices. Historical data shows that at the end of December each year, due to institutional investors settling their positions, U.S. stocks and other asset prices often experience pullbacks, and Bitcoin may also be affected.
Future outlook: Potential positives for Bitcoin.
Although there may be volatility in the short term, the macro environment remains favorable for Bitcoin in the long run. Once a crisis occurs in the U.S. Treasury market, the Trump administration is likely to adopt quantitative easing (QE) measures, which will increase global liquidity and drive funds towards scarce assets like Bitcoin.
Additionally, with the gradual popularization of Bitcoin ETFs, more institutional funds may flow into this area, providing long-term support for Bitcoin prices. According to the latest data, as of November 25, 2024, Bitcoin ETFs have seen net inflows for five consecutive days, indicating sustained confidence from investors in this asset. If major economies relax cryptocurrency-related regulations, it will further help Bitcoin prices break new highs.
Investors need to closely monitor changes in macroeconomic conditions and market policies, and take rational measures in response. As an emerging asset, the value logic of Bitcoin is gradually becoming clearer, and its price may fluctuate in the short term due to market panic. In long-term strategies, its value logic as an emerging asset will become increasingly evident.

Currently, market sentiment shows signs of overheating, and Bitcoin prices may experience pullbacks before January 2025. However, if such a correction does occur, it will provide better growth momentum for Bitcoin prices afterward.
