On Sampro TV's Crypto Plus, editor-in-chief Park Sang-hyuk identifies U.S. Treasury yields as the key factor behind Bitcoin trading slightly lower and reviews 4 major indicators. He reports on the 3 factors behind WTI's sharp decline (Saudi Arabia's resumption of operations, Iran's final proposal, and an SPR release), Treasury yields reaching their highest levels, and the probability of an October (month 10) rate hike falling from 75% to 25% following Williams's remarks. He questions the view that rate hikes are a cure-all and says that the rise in long-term yields after the hike proved the forecasts made before the FOMC wrong. Citing the recovery of oil transportation volumes to 80% and Saudi Arabia's 8 dollar discount structure, he points to Iran's weakening negotiating leverage. He argues that attention should be on Treasury yields rather than the policy rate and analyzes the market as holding up on a narrative that stablecoins offer a solution. With Bitcoin trading sideways, he explains the strength of 3 sectors—tokenized stocks, privacy, and Solana—and the polarization between the institutional mainstream and censorship resistance. He offers his personal opinion that, from a contrarian perspective on Treasury yields, this is a good time to invest. All directional outlooks are the speaker's conditional judgments, not definitive predictions of short-term prices.
