Interesting divergence happening across asset classes today. The heavily shorted stocks are catching a strong bid, Magnificent Seven tech names pushing higher, and momentum plays extending their runs. Meanwhile, we're seeing Bitcoin pull back along with bonds and gold taking some heat.
This kind of rotation tells a story about risk appetite shifting gears. When traders pile into beaten-down shorts and high-beta momentum while dumping safe havens, it usually signals a hunt for yield in riskier corners. The fact that BTC is moving in tandem with traditional defensive assets rather than risk-on equities is worth noting—maybe the correlation narrative is evolving again.
Anyone else tracking how crypto fits into this broader flow? Feels like the market is picking winners and losers pretty aggressively right now.

The coin price has dropped again. Is it really linked to traditional assets this time? It feels kind of ironic that BTC is gradually becoming a "safe-haven asset."

BTC is dropping along with bonds and gold. How is this supposed to be an independent asset class... Once again, it's being dragged along by traditional finance.

BTC is falling along with bonds and gold, so it has completely become a risk asset now, haha.

BTC is dropping in sync with bonds and gold? This time it’s really risk-off, not the usual crypto logic we’re familiar with.
