⚠️Bitcoin’s sharp drop once again proves that the broader crypto market still moves in its shadow

🔗 Even in 2026, crypto remains tightly correlated to Bitcoin — despite thousands of altcoins and deeper institutional participation, true diversification across digital assets is still largely missing

📉 So-called “defensive” DeFi and protocol tokens haven’t lived up to the label — most revenue-producing projects have sold off in tandem with BTC, with Hyperliquid’s HYPE standing out as a rare exception during the downturn

🟠 Bitcoin’s dominance continues to shape capital flows — as stablecoins become the go-to safe haven and institutions concentrate exposure through spot ETFs, the market remains BTC-centric, making real decoupling unlikely anytime soon #WhenWillBTCRebound #PreciousMetalsTurbulence $BTC
