Bloomberg: BTC's risk asset characteristics are gradually weakening, underperforming the S&P 500 by approximately 26 percentage points year-to-date
PANews November 11 news, according to Bloomberg, the correlation between Bitcoin and traditional risk assets is weakening. Despite a significant rebound in US tech stocks, Bitcoin failed to strengthen in sync and performed even weaker when the stock market subsequently pulled back, continuing to exhibit low volatility and weak oscillation characteristics. Data shows that Bitcoin has cumulatively declined by approximately 16% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 index has risen by approximately 10%, with performance over the last 1 month and the last 6 months also lagging behind US stocks. Market analysts believe that Bitcoin is no longer the only representative high-risk asset; AI-related investments and some small-cap stocks have stronger appeal for risk capital. In addition, the high-yield environment, the aftermath of previous large-scale liquidations in the crypto market, and Binance's record-breaking hacking incident may all put pressure on Bitcoin demand. The current cautious sentiment in the market means Bitcoin could face a new round of decline at any time.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This report emphasizes that Bitcoin is relatively weak against U.S. stocks: it did not strengthen in sync when tech stocks rebounded, and performed more weakly when the stock market subsequently pulled back. The year-to-date return gap is about 26 percentage points, which is the difference between the two's gains and losses. The demand pressure and the possibility of a new round of downside proposed in the report are analytical judgments, not already confirmed causal relationships or certain predictions.
Why it matters to readers
The report suggests that one cannot judge that Bitcoin will also rise in sync merely because US stocks are strong; however, the article does not provide specific statistics for measuring changes in the linkage.
Distinguish between the already reported gains and losses and judgments about the future; do not interpret "may move downward" as an inevitable decline, nor directly interpret weakened correlation as reduced risk.
Risks and unknowns
The original text does not provide the source of market data, the specific statistical cutoff time, or the calculation method for the linkage relationship.
The impact of capital attractiveness, a high-yield environment, and the aftermath of liquidations on Bitcoin demand is merely a possible explanation in the report.
The record-breaking hacking incident at Binance referred to in the text lacks a time, scale, and verification materials, so it cannot be confirmed on that basis.
