Analysis

Equity-Crypto Divergence Signals Liquidity Rotation, Not Risk-On

SPX +0.65% and NDX +0.81% are rallying alongside a 0.88% drop in the 10Y to 4.64% and VIX sitting at a placid 14.56 — a classic duration-favorable backdrop for long-duration equities. Yet BTC is -1.2% on 24h and -3.1% on the week while the Crypto Fear & Greed index sits at 29 (Fear). This divergence suggests institutional flows are rotating into quality equity duration and away from speculative digital assets. The bid is rate-sensitive, not risk-seeking.
