#BTCvsMarkets Bitcoin (BTC) has evolved from a niche digital experiment to a major financial asset, often moving independently of traditional markets. While stocks, bonds, and commodities react to economic data, corporate earnings, and central bank policies, Bitcoin thrives on decentralization, adoption trends, and speculative sentiment.

During market turmoil (like 2020’s COVID crash), BTC initially dropped with stocks but later surged as investors sought inflation hedges. In 2021-22, rising interest rates hurt both tech stocks and crypto, showing temporary correlation. However, Bitcoin’s 2023-24 rebound—driven by ETF approvals and institutional interest—diverged from stagnant equities, highlighting its unique drivers.
