How Bitcoin fits into the macro picture

Bitcoin held steady as traditional assets declined, with the S&P 500 down 0.41% and NASDAQ falling 0.57%. The 0.56 correlation with equities suggests Bitcoin remains influenced by macro conditions but showed relative strength during risk-off sentiment. Oil price increases weighed on risk assets generally, yet Bitcoin's resilience near $78,400 indicates growing macro independence. The dollar strengthened marginally while gold declined, creating mixed monetary conditions that Bitcoin navigated neutrally.

Bitcoin outperformed major assets with a 0.47% relative gain versus the S&P 500 and 0.63% versus NASDAQ, showing modest decoupling during risk-off conditions.
