📉 Wintermute: Bitcoin reacts more to Nasdaq drops than rises — a pattern seen in late-stage corrections Wintermute analysts observe that BTC still correlates with equities, but the asymmetry has shifted: Bitcoin increasingly responds to Nasdaq declines while ignoring its upside. This behavior is typical of the final phases of a correction. 🔍 Key insights from Wintermute: Current asymmetry signals market exhaustion, not euphoria. BTC is holding up remarkably well despite tech-sector pressure. Capital is being reallocated toward equities, especially large-cap tech stocks heavily weighted in market indexes. 📊 Bottom line: macro pressure remains, but sellers may be losing momentum.
