Interesting divergence pattern:
Last week: $BTC down daily while stocks rallied
This week: $BTC up daily while stocks sold off
This inverse correlation isn't random. When $BTC moves opposite to equities consistently like this, it's usually one of two things:
1. Liquidity rotation - capital flowing between risk assets based on narrative shifts rather than fundamentals
2. Deliberate positioning ahead of a catalyst (ETF flows, macro data, or options expiry)
The "bullish manipulation" read makes sense if you think about it: someone's absorbing sell pressure and building a base while retail watches equities. Then when attention shifts back, the setup is already in place.
Classic pre-move behavior. Watch for when the correlation flips back - that's usually when the real directional move starts.
