Bitcoin surged to a high of $61.2K today, coinciding with a bounce in the S&P 500. While it’s debated whether crypto is leading the equities market or the other way around, the strong correlation between the two is undeniable.
Historically, Bitcoin tends to break out when its correlation with equities diminishes, suggesting that the current tight relationship might eventually loosen.

For those looking at long-term trends, the Rainbow Chart offers some optimism. This logarithmic growth curve tool suggests that Bitcoin is still undervalued, with plenty of room for growth. Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 61.87, indicates that Bitcoin has not yet reached its peak, as it remains below the overbought threshold of 70.
Additional metrics, like the 200 Week Moving Average Heatmap and the Cumulative Value Coin Days Destroyed (CVDD), further reinforce the idea that Bitcoin’s top is yet to be reached. Both indicators suggest that the current price level is still in a buying zone.
Despite these positive signals, the market faced some challenges, with a total net outflow of $105 million from Bitcoin spot ETFs on August 28. Grayscale’s ETFs and ARKB were among those seeing significant outflows, highlighting the market’s ongoing uncertainty.
