Bitcoin: Decouples From Nasdaq QQQ Since 2025
Bitcoin at $65779.58 diverges from Nasdaq as QQQ climbs while BTC flattens, breaking seven-year correlation that began in 2018.
SourceAnalysis
Bitcoin and Nasdaq moved in lockstep for seven years after January 2018, yet the orange and blue lines split decisively in 2025 with QQQ continuing higher while BTC flattened.
Price at $65779.58 tests the upper Bollinger Band resistance of $65993.9 while RSI sits at 66.44; a healthy retracement toward the concrete EMA50 support at $64152.31 appears probable before any continuation, especially with the MACD golden cross still intact above the distant EMA200 at $69670.82. This decoupling forces fresh BTC price prediction frameworks, alters crypto market crash hedging tactics, and highlights the widening AI industry impact on traditional tech indices versus digital assets.
