He suggests that a strong DXY and a potential risk-off environment could put pressure on Bitcoin, leading to a deeper correction. He mentions the possibility of a 'three peaks and a domed house' pattern, suggesting a potential reversal. ## Regime / Cycle Analysis Atkinson discusses the potential for a 'risk-off' environment driven by a strengthening US Dollar (DXY) and rising bond yields.
