Bitcoin Holds Near $69,000 as FTSE 100 Falls on Rising UK Gilt Yields

On March 9, 2026, Bitcoin traded around $69,000 even as the FTSE 100 declined amid a sharp rise in UK 10-year Gilt yields. Traders are watching key levels near $71,000 and $74,000 as institutional spot ETF inflows and earlier US market hours shape liquidity and Bitcoin's short-term decoupling from European equities.
