Wintermute: Markets Flip From “Rate Cuts” to “Rate Hikes” as Bitcoin Rally Fades
Market maker Wintermute said inflation pressure is re-entering the core narrative, with positioning shifting within five trading days from “when cuts” to “whether hikes.” In crypto, BTC briefly broke above $82,000 on momentum tied to Clarity Act developments before sliding back to around $78,000, down 5.7% on the week; ETH fell 10.2%, with ETH/BTC dropping to roughly 0.0275. Wintermute said last week’s BTC breakout was driven more by leverage and short-covering than spot-led confirmation, and flagged $76,000–$78,000 as key near-term support, warning that higher yields and re-accelerating inflation could make an immediate institutional bid harder to sustain.
