• Bitcoin & S&P 500

Bitcoin often moves in sync with US stocks. When the S&P 500 rises, Bitcoin tends to rise stronger; when stocks fall, crypto usually drops harder. This shows Bitcoin behaves more like a “risk asset”.

• Dollar Index (DXY)

The US Dollar Index usually moves opposite to crypto and stocks. A weaker dollar means more money flows into Bitcoin and equities. A stronger dollar = pressure on crypto markets.

• Why It Matters

Crypto doesn’t exist in isolation. Global money flows, stock performance, and dollar strength — all shape Bitcoin’s price.
