As Wall Street retreats amid macroeconomic concerns, the Bitcoin-S&P 500 correlation has reached historic levels. This article analyzes the causes of this coupling, examines the prospects for post-halving decoupling, and highlights key technical levels to watch: support at 0,000, resistance at 8,000.
The correlation between Bitcoin and traditional equity markets has been a subject of intense debate among investors. While Bitcoin was originally conceived as a non-correlated asset, the influx of institutional capital through ETFs has paradoxically strengthened its ties to Wall Street.
Several factors explain this growing correlation: the dominance of institutional ETFs that treat Bitcoin as a risk-on asset, the macro environment of rising interest rates, and the increasing integration of crypto into traditional finance.
