COINOTAG News notes that PlanB observes Bitcoin trading around $87,500, a price that markedly diverges from its historically correlated paths with US stocks and gold. This marks a potential Bitcoin decoupling from macroassets, with implications for traders assessing cross-asset risk.
Based on historical correlation calculations, BTC would align with US stocks near $6,900 and with gold around $4,500, underscoring a pronounced misalignment.
PlanB cautions that a comparable correlation deviation appeared when Bitcoin traded under $1,000, a period historically followed by roughly a 10x rally. He warns that if the correlation relationship has structurally changed, the trajectory may diverge from prior history, and time will validate the outcome.
