The multi-month correlation between the crypto market and the S&P 500 is fast slipping away. During the past week, the S&P 500 dropped approximately 1.6%, gold shed less than 1%, while the crypto market dumped over 12% during the same period.
The wider crypto market recorded significant losses during the last 24 hours led by Bitcoin, which teased below $100k on Tuesday.

What’s Next for Crypto Amid Significant Divergence from the S&P 500
According to Santiment, the crypto market is well-positioned to rebound after hitting oversold levels. A potential rebound for the S&P 500 is likely to influence the wider crypto market with a relief rally as traders bet on a midterm rebound.
Furthermore, the crypto market has accumulated significant positive fundamentals in the recent past including clear regulations in major jurisdictions amid high demand from institutional investors. Additionally, the upcoming Fed’s Quantitative Easing (QE) will build on the rising global liquidity, which is bullish for crypto.
“This sharp underperformance suggests that crypto markets may have become oversold. Extreme volatility in crypto often leads to a “rubber-band” effect, where traders’ capitulation can lead to a huge bounce-back once selling pressure subsides,” Santiment noted.

According to market analyst Aksel Kibar, BTC price, in the weekly timeframe, cannot fall below $98k as it will invalidate the midterm bullish sentiment.
