Analysis

Crypto-Equity Divergence Signals Latent Equity Fragility

BTC is down 3.1% in 24 hours and 4.6% over seven days while SPX is essentially flat at 7,413. This kind of crypto-leading-equities divergence has historically been a 3-5 day early warning signal. The Crypto Fear & Greed index at 29 (Fear) contrasts with VIX at only 18.94 — either crypto is overshooting to the downside or equity vol is underpricing the incoming risk. We lean toward the latter given the steepening yield curve backdrop.
