Bitcoin Reclaims $83K as KOSPI Crashes 6% — Decoupling Begins?
BTC dipped below $81K at 00:50 UTC and quickly reclaimed $83K+, showing strength while Asian markets bled.
- KOSPI -6% intraday, below 6000, lowest since late July
- Samsung & SK Hynix -8% each, 5th straight red day
- Hang Seng -0.4%, Nasdaq Futures -0.6%
- WTI $92.67, Brent $106 on Middle East tensions
- ETH bounced from 5-day lows, XRP from 3-week lows
Despite $681M ETF outflows last week, BTC held the $81,500 weekly pivot. Institutions are hedging, not exiting.
Next catalyst: US CPI on Wednesday.
If decoupling holds through CPI, altcoins will follow.
