Bitcoin Decouples From Stock Markets

November 2, 2022

After months of tears and tantrums, Bitcoin wants to split up with stock markets.

Crypto is now staging one of its strongest efforts yet to break away.

Bitcoin is hovering near one-month highs around $20,500 and rose over 5% last week, outperforming the Nasdaq's 2% gain.

The total market cap for cryptocurrencies has shrunk by more than two-thirds to $984 billion from nearly $3 trillion in November 2021, according to CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoins 30-day correlation with the Nasdaq slid to 0.26 last week, lowest since early January.

The correlation has hovered above 0.75 for much of the year

Last week, Musk fired Twitter's previous chief, Parag Agrawal and other top company officials.
