The UK housing market just signaled some breathing room. RICS released its latest survey with a balance reading of -14, which actually beat expectations of -16.5 and showed improvement from the previous -16 reading.

What does this mean? A less negative print suggests property sentiment is stabilizing, even if it's still in contraction territory. For crypto investors tracking macro flows, this matters—housing weakness in major economies often correlates with monetary policy shifts and risk-on/risk-off cycles in alternative assets.

The uptick from -16 to -14 might seem marginal, but direction counts. When traditional markets show signs of stabilization (however modest), it tends to filter through to digital asset narratives around inflation, rate expectations, and where capital looks for returns.
