Bitcoin Finally Decouples From The Stock Market!

U.S. equities markets jumped on Thursday as stock market saw some relief after a number of weekly losses. All the major stock indexes rebounded after falling for nearly eight weeks in a row, while the crypto economy took some losses on Thursday, losing roughly 4% against the U.S. dollar during the past 24 hours.

Analyst Says ‘Doom and Gloom’ Predictions ‘May Have Been Overdone’ Amid Stock Market Rebound

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, the Stock Market Nasdaq, and NYSE composite all rallied during Thursday’s trading sessions. The S&P 500 rose about 2% reaching 4,057.84 by the closing bell, while Nasdaq spiked 2.7%, hitting 11,740.65.

The Dow Jones jumped around 1.6% on Thursday afternoon, as the index recorded gains for the fifth straight day in a row. Quincy Krosby, LPL Financial’s chief equity strategist, believes the rebound may be a sign that some of last week’s doom and gloom predictions were overhyped.

“Although this was an expected, and highly talked about potential ‘oversold’ rally, the underpinning for today’s market climb higher, suggests that last week’s doom and gloom about the all-important U.S. consumer may have been overdone, along with the dire recession headlines,” Krosby told CNBC’s Tanaya Macheel and Jesse Pound on Thursday.

Many Believe Cryptos Have Decoupled, Alex Krüger Says ‘Worst Case Scenario for Crypto Is Here’

Meanwhile, amid the equities rebound, the cryptocurrency economy faltered again on Thursday, losing 4% during the past 24 hours of trading. Bitcoin (BTC) lost a small percentage on Thursday dropping roughly 0.7%.

Ethereum (ETH), however, lost around 6.9%, alongside a number of alternative crypto assets that saw deeper losses than bitcoin. While stock markets have improved and crypto assets have not, a number of traders have been discussing crypto decoupling from stocks in terms of correlation.

The economist and trader Alex Krüger spoke about crypto decoupling from stocks on Thursday.

“Worst case scenario for crypto is here,” Krüger said. “Apathy and decoupling. The correlation with equities is now broken. It’s been largely gone since Monday afternoon. Now equities bounce alone.” After his statement, Krüger doubled down on his commentary. “Watch people who don’t trade and barely watch charts or correlations disagree with this tweet. It’s ok. Everybody copes differently,” Krüger added.

The bitcoin proponent Luke Martin, host of the Stacks podcast, also talked about digital currencies not bouncing back with equities markets.

“Seeing lots of tweets about stocks [and] crypto decoupling, and crypto not bouncing with stocks,” Martin tweeted. “Charting gives a better picture of what’s happening: 1/ We had high correlation 2/ Luna collapse leads to more severe crypto selloff 3/ Post collapse crypto not making up the difference.”

Schiff continued on Thursday and made sure to throw salt on bitcoin’s recent market wounds. Schiff remarked:
