USD Strength: Headwinds for Crypto, Delta-Neutral Strategies

The USD is showing strength based on the EUR/USD rate of 1.1561, which is well above the 1.10 threshold indicating a weaker USD. Additionally, USD/JPY at 157.92 confirms USD strength against the Yen. This generally pressures risk assets like [Bitcoin](/pairs/btc-perp), potentially leading to lower prices. [Delta](/glossary#delta)-neutral traders should be aware of potential downward pressure on crypto assets and adjust their positions accordingly to maintain neutrality; funding rates may turn negative.
