According to @CNBC, earnings momentum is rising among stocks set to report next week, signaling strengthening trends into the upcoming earnings window (source: CNBC social post dated Jan 15, 2026). For crypto traders, stronger U.S. equity risk sentiment has historically coincided with higher positive correlations between BTC and major stock indices, affecting crypto price co-movements and intraday beta (source: International Monetary Fund blog, Jan 2022, noting BTC-S&P 500 daily return correlation rising to roughly 0.36 post-2020).
