Decoupling of Crypto and Stock Markets Signals Buying Opportunity In a recent report, cryptocurrency on-chain analytics platform Santiment observed a decreasing correlation between crypto and stock markets. This decoupling has historically been favorable for crypto performance. Despite the correlation initially rising after the US presidential election, Bitcoin has since surged, outpacing the S&P 500. This divergence suggests a potential opportunity for crypto investors. Historically, periods of low crypto-stock market correlation have coincided with strong crypto market performance. If Bitcoin and altcoins continue to rally in January while remaining independent of the S&P 500, the chances of reaching new all-time highs increase significantly.
