Bitcoin was once considered an alternative to the stock market — “digital gold”, unaffected by global risks. But the most attentive traders and investors see the opposite.
🟠 BTC is increasingly moving in unison with indices, especially the US100 and US500
🟠 During important macroeconomic events (Fed decisions, inflation reports, NonFarm, etc.), the behavior of cryptocurrency almost mirrors the dynamics of the stock market
Why is this important?
✔️ If BTC reacts as a risk asset rather than a defensive one, this changes the logic of entries and exits
✔️ Correlation with indices can help traders predict BTC movements based on stock market dynamics
✔️ But during periods of “crypto shock” (ETFs, halving, major disruptions), BTC can sharply deviate from the overall picture
📌 BTC can be both an indicator of stock market sentiment and a wild beast with its own rules.
🎯 The ability to track Correlation with the US100 or US500 can be a key tool in BTC trading.
