An increased correlation between crypto movements and tech stocks has opened a new crypto perspective.

An increased correlation between crypto movements and tech stocks has opened a new crypto perspective. Remember, the US regulators approved the first Bitcoin ETF last year. Notably, Nasdaq Composite Index. IXIC has been on a decline for the past two months. Similarly, the crypto market was also trapped in a declining trend for the past two months.
However, the market turned into positive gains during the weekend, thereby nullifying a possible extended bear market. For this case, the Bitcoin US dollar derivative has formed a perfect bull case scenario in the near term, with higher highs and higher lows respected in the weekly chart.
The rejuvenated bulls coincided with increased fundamentals for investors to consider before investing. “The current panic and volatility surrounding bitcoin are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of it as an asset class,” said Ed Hindi, a chief investment officer of Swiss-based cryptocurrency hedgefund Tyr Capital. “When valuations on the Nasdaq fall, misguided institutional investors start liquidating bitcoin positions en-masse as if it were a tech stock.”
