First of all, bitcoin is very technical and the inability to break $72,000 and instead forming a top is worrisome. If we break $60,000 and possibly $57,000, that would leave an ugly pattern targeting sub-$50,000.
Bitcoin is often a forerunner of risk sentiment, though it’s more of an intraday thing than one that runs ahead of broad risk sentiment by days. That said, it certainly correlates with risk assets. The recent bottom came in late-October 2023, which is precisely when stocks bottomed.
