Why Bitcoin Didn’t Correlate With the Rally in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq

Bitcoin has spent years moving almost in sync with U.S. stocks, especially technology shares. When the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 rallied, Bitcoin usually rallied harder. When equities crashed, Bitcoin often fell even faster.

But 2026 has looked very different.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq recently reached fresh all-time highs, fueled by strong corporate earnings and the ongoing artificial intelligence boom. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has remained stuck below $80,000, trading well below its late-2025 peak of $126,000.

The divergence has surprised many investors because crypto and equities have become deeply connected over the last few years. Yet this cycle shows that Bitcoin is still influenced by its own unique market forces, not just risk appetite on Wall Street.

Wall Street Is Rallying Without Bitcoin

The recent stock market rally has been extremely strong. In April alone, the Nasdaq-100 surged 15.7%, its best monthly performance since October 2002, while the S&P 500 climbed 10.5% to new record highs.

Technology giants tied to AI infrastructure have been the biggest drivers. NVIDIA continued its massive run as demand for AI chips exploded. Alphabet also jumped after reporting strong earnings and increasing its planned AI-related spending for 2026.

Bitcoin also rose in April, gaining roughly 14%, but that rebound came after heavy losses earlier in the year. January saw Bitcoin fall 10.7%, while February brought another 14.8% decline. Overall, Bitcoin remains down about 10% year-to-date even as stocks continue setting records.

That gap has created one of the clearest examples in years of equities rallying while Bitcoin struggles to keep pace.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Over the last week, Bitcoin has continued to move higher after modest gains pushed prices into the $80,000 zone for the first time since January. The leading cryptocurrency is now reporting an approximately 13% gain over the last month, following the bullish resurgence that began in early April.  Interestingly, the incoming chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), Kevin Warsh, is set to take office by May 15. Given Bitcoin’s and other risk assets’ sensitivity to macro events, speculation continues to roll in about the asset’s future under the US monetary policy director.

The former Fed governor and member of George W Bush’s Economic Team is regarded as a Hawkish regulator focused on proactive inflation control. During his Senate hearing in late April, Warsh may have hinted that there would be no changes to this policy stance, after kicking against speculation that he has agreed to implement rate cuts following his appointment by President Donald Trump. The incoming Federal Reserve Chairman stressed the independence of the apex bank in monetary policy decisions, despite the President’s pressure for interest rate cuts, which had sparked a year-long public spat with outgoing Chairman Jerome Powell. Bitcoin prices retraced to around $75,000 following Warsh’s statements, which doused hopes of lower interest rates that would encourage liquidity flows to risk assets, e.g., cryptocurrencies. According to XWIN Research Japan, Bitcoin has shown significant reactions to general macro policies in recent years.

Corporate America posts record earnings, fueling US stocks’ rally

Wall Street braced for pain. What it got instead was one of the strongest earnings seasons in two decades.

A full 84% of S&P 500 companies have exceeded Q1 2026 earnings projections, according to FactSet data from May 6. That figure handily tops the five-year average of 78%, and it’s happening against a backdrop that, on paper, should have made corporate America sweat: an ongoing conflict in Iran, rising energy costs, and inflation that refuses to fully cooperate.

The S&P 500 hit record highs on April 30, capping its best month since 2020.

The numbers behind the momentum

Deutsche Bank analysts have called this one of the most impressive earnings seasons in two decades. Their reasoning goes beyond a single sector carrying the load. They’ve highlighted potential growth across all 11 S&P sectors, a rare achievement that suggests this isn’t just Big Tech dragging the index higher while everything else treads water.

US corporate profits surged to $3,605.67 billion in Q4 2025, a 5.8% jump from Q3 and a 10.8% increase year-over-year, according to Trading Economics.

Uber posted 25% growth in bookings. Disney reported strong visitor turnout at its parks. CVS Health issued an optimistic 2026 forecast, signaling confidence in healthcare demand and operational efficiency.

HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

UAE exits OPEC after 59 years, escalating tensions with Saudi Arabia over oil productionThe United Arab Emirates is leaving OPEC. After nearly six decades of membership, the Gulf state announced its departure from the oil cartel, effective May 1, 2026. The UAE was OPEC’s third-largest producer, sitting on spare capacity estimated at 3 to 3.5 million barrels per day.

A feud decades in the making

The tension between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over oil policy isn’t new. It has roots stretching back to the 1950s Buraimi dispute, a territorial conflict over a desert oasis suspected of containing vast oil reserves. The late journalist David Holden documented how Saudi Arabia attempted to bribe a prince of the UAE’s al-Nahyan family to cede control of the territory. When that failed, an invasion followed.

The breaking point appears tied to broader geopolitical disagreements. The two Gulf states have adopted contrasting stances on Iran and the conflict in Yemen. The UAE has also been quietly preparing its infrastructure for independence from Saudi-influenced chokepoints. It has built a 249-mile bypass pipeline to the Gulf of Oman, specifically designed to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes.

BlackRock is planning to launch two tokenized money market funds designed specifically for stablecoin holders, marking another step by the world’s largest asset manager into blockchain-based financial products.

The planned funds would target holders of stablecoins, the dollar-pegged digital tokens that have become a cornerstone of crypto market infrastructure. The initiative involves two separate tokenized money market fund vehicles rather than a single product.
Details of the plan surfaced through a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under BlackRock’s entity records. The filing references a vehicle tied to stablecoin reserve functionality, though full product specifications have not been publicly disclosed.
