In 2026, the start of the year on Wall Street follows a classic bull market rhythm—major indices surge, tech stocks lead the way, and market sentiment is exuberant. Logically, risk assets should all rise together, but Bitcoin seems to have missed the invitation.

In previous years, whenever the US stock market heated up, BTC would usually follow suit. But this time, it appears to be a bit behind. On one side, there's the celebration of traditional finance; on the other, a calm observation of digital assets—this contrast is quite interesting.

Many are speculating about the reasons. Some say the macro environment hasn't truly favored the crypto market yet; others believe traders are re-evaluating risk allocations. Essentially, the rhythm of the US stock market and the crypto world are temporarily out of sync.

In the short term, this misalignment offers some room for reflection among market participants. Will BTC catch up, or will the recent rally in US stocks falter? The upcoming weeks' data will tell. The market always plays out different stories at the same time.

Damn, why is there still no movement with BTC? Is it holding back a big move? What is Bitcoin waiting for? The US stock market is soaring. Wait, is this the main force shaking out the weak hands? The colder it gets, the more they buy. BTC has been left behind by the US stock market again. Is this time truly decoupling? It feels like the opportunity is coming. Niche assets often bring surprises. The US stock market is lively, the crypto world is calm—double the rhythm, brother. This pace feels off, but maybe it's just the right time to bottom fish. BTC, what are you waiting for? Move a bit. Traditional finance and Web3 are finally out of sync—interesting. Once the data comes out, we should be able to see the real story.

The crypto world has fallen into old habits again, unable to keep up with the pace of the US stock market. Truly astonishing.

ngl, this decoupling is actually the inflection point nobody's talking about. btc's been through enough adoption cycles to know when traditional finance's pumping doesn't translate to real network effects. the correlation breaking isn't weakness—it's protocol maturation signaling.

BTC is really a bit timid this time. The US stocks are already soaring, and it's still pretending to be calm... It'll have to catch up eventually, right?

BTC, is this holding back a big move or has it really fallen behind? Let's wait and see. It feels like this wave of US stocks is a bit fake.

BTC is holding back a big move, let's wait and see. How long this rally in the US stock market can last remains to be seen.
