Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of the news article:
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has experienced a rise of 5.6% over the past 24 hours, as reported at 1:25 p.m. ET on Monday, September 21, 2026, reaching levels unseen since early this year. Declines in oil prices and Treasury yields have led investors to gravitate toward more risky assets.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite increased by 1.5% and 2.1%, respectively.
Did you miss Nvidia back in 2009? A rare market signal is appearing again. In 2009, a significant “Double Down” signal indicated a little-known chip manufacturer, Nvidia. Now, this same “Total Conviction” signal has emerged for a company that is just 1/100th of Nvidia’s size. Continue »
Influences from macroeconomic factors
Oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields saw a significant increase throughout the previous week. The global benchmark Brent Crude climbed to over $109 per barrel, reaching heights not recorded in months. Meanwhile, long-term Treasuries rose, as traders remained cautious about inflation, with the 10-year yield peaking at 5.04%.
On Monday, however, both oil prices and Treasury yields experienced a decline. Indicators suggesting possible de-escalation of tensions in Iran allowed Brent to dip below $100. Treasuries followed suit, with the 10-year yield now at 4.96%.
Bitcoin is typically viewed as a “risk-on” asset, which means it tends to perform well when bond yields decline, but falters when yields rise.
Bitcoin has soared above $85,000 for the first time in eight months.
Evaluating Bitcoin as an investment
Today’s market uptick serves as a reminder that Bitcoin’s value is influenced by various factors—oil prices, expectations of inflation, and Treasury yields play significant roles in its daily price fluctuations.
However, a more crucial question is whether Bitcoin merits a position in your investment portfolio for the next five to ten years. I personally believe it does.
