Crypto Market Gains as US Stock Market Experiences Decline

The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of decoupling from the US stock market as of September 2. Key points include:

  • While the S&P 500 dropped by 1.48% to 6,364 points, Bitcoin gained 1.58% to $110,987.
  • The total crypto market cap surpassed $3.77 trillion, up 1.5% intraday.
  • Signals indicate a potential altseason, with the Altseason Index reaching 61, the highest in 8 months.
  • Bitcoin Dominance Index has broken down from a multi-year uptrend, suggesting capital rotation to altcoins.
  • Institutional interest is notable with ETH ETF inflows and Bitcoin whales selling BTC to accumulate Ethereum.
  • Michael Saylor’s company purchased over 4,000 BTC for $449 million, indicating significant investment activity.

Historically, Bitcoin has correlated with the S&P 500, but recent trends suggest a shift. As of now, Bitcoin dominance stands at approximately 58%, following a peak of 65% during this cycle.
