On January 7, news emerged that the cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment pointed out on the X platform that the correlation between cryptocurrencies and stocks has remained high since Trump was elected as the 47th president of the United States two months ago. However, today we observed that Bitcoin is showing a soaring trend relative to the S&P 500 index (based on its usual volatility range).
For most of the past three years, the image of cryptocurrencies in the minds of most community members has gradually shifted to that of 'high-leverage tech stocks.' However, signs from early 2025 indicate that Bitcoin may be gradually detaching from the conventional volatility trajectory of the global stock market.
Historically, the cryptocurrency market tends to thrive and experience the most significant bull markets during periods of low or no correlation with the stock market. If Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can achieve strong growth in January without relying on the S&P 500 index, it will be a strong signal indicating a significantly increased possibility of reaching a new all-time high.
