Past
What happened
Bitcoin pulled back 1.7% to $79,309 despite broad risk-on in equities. Crypto is diverging from its usual tech-beta behavior.
Why
Why it matters
The correlation break is telling -- BTC may be repricing as an inflation hedge rather than a risk asset, but conviction is low with the Trump-Xi summit adding uncertainty.
Watch
What to watch
The $80K level is pivotal -- losing it opens $75K; reclaiming it with volume would signal the dip is buyable. Watch ETF flow data for institutional positioning.
