Bitcoin correlates a bit too closely to tech for my liking. Take NVDA for example. The movement (albeit different magnitude) has been very similar between the two since 2021. This may imply that a large tech selloff could trigger a similar drop in BTC.

I bought NVDA because it was clearly bitcoin derivative on steroids. But that was 5 years ago. AI-boom diverted it 3000%. Nothing to do with bitcoin anymore.

I believe it correlates to global liquidity and interest rates. Some people have posted good analysis on that.

And it's no surprise tech stocks are correlated to said liquidity/rates too.

That's how I explain it to myself, at least. I do believe a large tech selloff would most likely result in BTC selloff too. But chances are these sort of things may trigger a broader selloff too. e.g check gold correlation to tech stocks recently
