BITCOIN $74,121 | GOLD $4,980
1. Bitcoin smashes $74K resistance, war-era high
-- BTC surged $1,585 since last update, breaking through the level that capped price for weeks.
-- Decoupling from equities and gold ($4,980) now decisive; structural haven rotation confirmed ahead of FOMC.
2. FOMC decision tomorrow, $137B settlements underway
-- Fed announces Tuesday with oil at $98, yields at 4.24%, and war burning $1.9B/day; Treasury settlements draining liquidity simultaneously.
-- Hawkish hold risks BTC retest of $70K; any dovish signal accelerates breakout with $74,121 already clearing prior resistance.
3. House financial privacy hearing convenes today
-- HFSC opens 21st-century financial privacy overhaul following Treasury report legitimizing mixer use cases.
-- Arrives alongside DOJ Tornado Cash retrial push; sets precedent for code-as-speech and sovereign transactions with BTC at new highs.
4. Ceasefire odds hit 12%, Iran war hardens
-- Lowest reading of entire conflict after Tehran's formal rejection; eight-nation kinetic war entering week three with no diplomatic channel.
-- Ground entry 30%, regime fall 28% by June; SPR's 120-day drawdown clock is the only timeline markets are pricing.
