Bitcoin Decouples From S&P 500 On the other hand, an X post by DataDash revealed that Bitcoin is decoupling from the S&P 500. BTC and S&P 500 have shown correlated action, and following the Elliott Wave Theory, the assets reached their wave 5 highs earlier this month. However, a recent shift in the market sentiment since April 2 has ignited a massive tide of speculations. The S&P 500 witnessed a steep decline of over 10%, breaking key support at 5500 and yet to show signs of a clear reversal to date. Meanwhile, BTC price is down slightly over 5% from its high and is still holding above support levels.
