Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $1.35 trillion, is navigating one of the most unprofitable stretches in its history, with a slump spanning three consecutive quarters and two calendar years. The Bitcoin-AAPL ratio, trading within an ascending channel since 2017, is now approaching its lower boundary, historically marking an accumulation zone. In 2025, this correlation broke from eight years of alignment between Bitcoin and the S&P 500, with the former ending the year down 6% against an 18% gain for the equity index, as roughly $1 trillion exited the market in Q4. Stablecoin flows into the market reached $1.42 billion over seven days, well below the $10 billion withdrawn over the past thirty days.
