## 2. Real Yields — Finally Receding (🟡)
Real yields have stopped rising and have begun a modest downward trend. This shift reflects:
- Weak (but softening) labor market data
- Slower growth expectations
- Stable inflation expectations
- Modest safe-haven buying in long bonds
This is an important regime change: **the worst of real-yield headwinds appears behind us**.
**Crypto Impact:**
- **BTC:** Gains traction as real yields recede
- **ETH:** Slowly regaining positive correlation
- **SOL:** Starts to benefit, though remains risk-sensitive
**Signal:** 🔴 → 🟡 (shifting to supportive)

**ETH Outlook:**
Displays early signs of breakout conditions once real yields enter a clear downtrend.
