Executive summmary
Bitcoin remains under pressure despite improving institutional and geopolitical developments. The asset is trading well below its major moving averages, with weak momentum and “Extreme Fear” sentiment continuing to dominate the market. While ETF flows have begun to stabilize and institutional adoption remains supportive, a hawkish Federal Reserve and historically bearish post-FOMC performance continue to weigh on near-term price action. At the same time, broader macro markets remain supportive of risk assets, with equities and emerging markets outperforming traditional safe havens.

Performance & Market environment
Global Asset Class Returns
Emerging markets have been the strongest-performing major asset class, rising 34.6% year-to-date, supported by AI-driven technology supply chains, rising commodity demand and improving capital flows into developing economies. U.S. technology has also outperformed, while gold and long-duration bonds have lagged as markets continue to adapt to a higher-for-longer interest rate environment.

Volatility & Risk Sentiment
The VIX has fallen approximately 35% over the past 90 days, reflecting a significant decline in market volatility since late March. Despite ongoing concerns around energy markets and central bank policy, options markets continue to price relatively benign conditions ahead, while prediction markets assign only a 10% probability to a U.S. recession in 2026.
Global Asset Class Relative Performance
The six-month performance trend highlights one of the report’s key themes: investors are being rewarded for taking equity risk while traditional safe havens remain under pressure. Emerging markets have been the dominant outperformer, while gold has reversed its earlier rally and long-term U.S. Treasuries have remained broadly flat as restrictive monetary policy continues to weigh on defensive assets.
