Bitcoin hovers near $74K as stocks rise despite US bond yield rebound

Bitcoin (BTC) circled $74,000 at Wednesday’s Wall Street open as stock markets rallied and US bond yields surged.

Bitcoin failed to follow US stocks higher as CoreWeave gained up to 21% after beating Q3 revenue estimates.

The US 10-year bond yield hit a high of 5.02% on the back of higher-than-expected US CPI inflation.

BTC traded in a narrow range between its 21-week and 50-week trend lines at $73,078 and $75,492, respectively.
