$BTC no longer moves in isolation from the financial markets as it once did. As ETFs, investment funds, and large corporations increasingly add BTC to their portfolios, this cryptocurrency is gradually becoming influenced by familiar macroeconomic factors.
Changes in interest rates, a strong or weak USD, fluctuations in U.S. equities… all can quickly trigger reactions in BTC. This is even more evident in shorter timeframes, when prices often exhibit stronger volatility around the opening of U.S. market hours as capital from traditional markets flows in.
