What's happening with Bitcoin right now is
a pretty clean example of "macro
decoupling"
and it's not what most
traders expected
While the Nasdaq just pushed to new all-
time highs, $BTC correlation has
collapsed from ~0.9 to ~0.3. In simple
terms: stocks are trending up, but Bitcoin is
no longer following the same rhythm.
That's a big shift in behavior compared to
recent cycles.
So why the disconnect? It's not macro
weakness –it's participation. Institutions
(like ETF flows) are still supportive, but
mid-sized whales are actively taking profits
and sending coins to exchanges. That
createsa constant ceiling even when
broader risk sentiment is strong.What's happening with Bitcoin right now is
