Bitcoin’s correction reflects investors’ inflation concerns and highlights the potential impact of future US fiscal policies.
Bitcoin (BTC) traded down by 4.1% on Nov. 14 following US inflation data that marginally exceeded market expectations. This decline mirrored the S&P 500 index futures, which fell from 6,023 to 5,980 over four hours.
As a result, traders are now questioning the extent of this correlation and when Bitcoin’s inflation-hedging attributes might offer some protection in an environment of persistent inflation.

Bitcoin price recaptures the $62,000 level as investor grow increasingly concerned about the fiscal health of the US
Bitcoin (BTC) has risen 2.4% since retesting the $59,900 support level on Oct. 3, despite facing initial resistance at $62,000. The gains on Oct. 4 were primarily driven by macroeconomic factors, such as US employment data, expectations of economic stimulus in Japan, and growing concerns about the US financial system.
In the US, the economy is booming, but fiscal conditions deteriorated. Interestingly, the US dollar surged to a 50-day high against other major currencies, including the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen.
Historically, the relationship between the US dollar Index (DXY) and Bitcoin has been inversely correlated. However, this latest movement seems to defy that pattern.
China-focused stablecoin data, retail investor participation and skeptical BTC derivatives markets are all signs that Bitcoin price is not primed for a new all-time high.
Bitcoin (BTC) closed at its highest level in two months on Sept. 28 and is currently approaching the $66,000 mark. This movement followed gains in the S&P 500 index, which reached an all-time high on Sept. 26, fueled by robust economic indicators and measures aimed at boosting markets and investor confidence in China. However, several metrics indicate that Bitcoin is far from entering a bull market.

Investors could be skeptical due to previous rejections at $70,000 or fearing that a potential recession is underway, which would negatively impact risk-on markets, including cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin lost momentum as weak macroeconomic data, fear of a stock market correction, and worries over the upcoming US elections impacted investor sentiment.
Bitcoin (BTC) price surged by 8.2% over the seven days leading up to Sept. 25, rising from $59,886 to $64,816. However, the $64,500 resistance level proved more challenging than expected. This same level was last tested a month prior, on Aug. 25. Weak macroeconomic data contributed to a decreased risk appetite among investors, but other factors also played a role in sparking a Bitcoin price correction on Sept. 25.
