Daan Crypto Trades attributes Bitcoin's recent volatility to stock market movements, highlighting BTC's strong correlation with the S&P 500 (SPX).

Bitcoin chart looks interesting.

We're still in a strong uptrend.

Recently we've seen some volatility which is mainly driven by the stock market.

As you know, BTC has a high correlation with the S&P500 (SPX).

So we're closely watching both markets. #BTC

CrypNuevo observes Bitcoin's bounce from the 1W 50 EMA, suggesting it's likely the bottom. A full recovery depends on reclaiming $91,500, while a revisit to $82,000-$81,000 remains possible.

#BTC bouncing off the 1W 50 EMA.

Likely the bottom.

Full recovery depends on 91.5k+.

Still possible we see a deeper retracement to 82k-81k on lower timeframes if we fail to hold 91.5k on the 1W chart.

For now, let's see if we can get some higher highs.

Thoughts?

Santiment data reveals Bitcoin's surge to around $88,350 after bottoming at around $77,500 two weeks ago. The recovery is linked to whale accumulation, with wallets holding 100–10,000 BTC increasing. As usual, the market improves when whales step back in.

Shortly after that local bottom, we began to see a rise in total wallets holding 100 to 10K $BTC. As usual, markets have looked better since whales resumed accumulation. pic.twitter.com/3zZfyOnCeY

Stockmoney Lizards views Bitcoin corrections as temporary, considering any price below $80,000 an accumulation opportunity, regardless of the recovery time.

Any price below 80k is an opportunity to accumulate $BTC.

It doesn't matter how long it takes to recover.

We're still in a bull market and the current correction
