On January 7, crypto market research firm Santiment published an article on the X platform stating that the correlation between cryptocurrencies and stocks has remained at a high level since Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States two months ago. But today, we observed that Bitcoin showed a soaring trend relative to the S&P 500 index (based on its regular fluctuation range).
For most of the past three years, the image of cryptocurrency in the minds of most community members has gradually shifted to "highly leveraged technology stocks." However, signs in early 2025 show that Bitcoin may be gradually deviating from the regular volatility trajectory of global stock markets.
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 greatly increased possibility of reaching new all-time highs.
