Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is showing unusual resilience to rising interest rate expectations, with Wintermute Research arguing that capital may be rotating from exhausted equity trades into crypto.

Why BTC Is Among the Three Strongest Assets

Bitcoin has traded range-bound over the past week, gaining 2.5% even as macro pressures mount.

Prices briefly fell from $82,400 to below $80,000 after a strong U.S. jobs report lifted Fed rate hike odds toward 60%. However, BTC ended the week 3.45% higher.

Wintermute highlighted in its September 2026 market update that crypto took three of the strongest spots behind oil in its cross-asset comparison, while equities stalled and bonds and gold weakened.
