TechFlow news, January 7 — Data analytics platform Santiment reported that since Donald Trump was elected the 47th President of the United States two months ago, cryptocurrencies have remained highly correlated with the stock market. However, recently Bitcoin has begun to break away from this correlation, showing an independent upward trend relative to the S&P 500. Over the past three years, cryptocurrencies have often been viewed as "high-beta tech stocks" in the market, but early 2025 data suggests BTC may be decoupling from global equity market volatility.
The report noted historical data indicates crypto markets often experience their most significant bull runs when their correlation with stock markets is low. Analysts believe if Bitcoin and altcoins can achieve growth independent of the S&P 500 in January, it would strongly suggest the market is likely heading toward new all-time highs.
