Approaching the Anticipated Fear-of-Missing-Out Phase for Bitcoin and S&P 500, Predicts Analyst Jason Pizzino if This Scenario Unfolds
The S&P 500's recent breakout is having a significant impact on the price of Bitcoin, according to recent reports. Bitcoin is currently trading for $115,026, nearing its all-time high of $144,000, a trend that experts attribute to the high correlation between the two markets.
This correlation has surged to around 80% in 2025, meaning Bitcoin's price movements closely follow the trajectory of the S&P 500. A strong rally or breakout in the S&P 500 tends to provide a bullish tailwind to Bitcoin, pushing its price higher. Conversely, a pullback or downturn in the S&P 500 could increase Bitcoin's downside volatility and lead to declines in its price.
This heightened correlation is driven by macroeconomic factors such as interest rate expectations, liquidity conditions, and the general risk appetite of investors which simultaneously influence both equities and cryptocurrencies. For now, Bitcoin seems to be tracking the S&P 500’s bullish momentum, supported by strong institutional demand and ETF inflows that amplify its price push toward new highs.
However, this correlation is often short-lived and prone to sharp reversals, so while current trends emphasize Bitcoin's dependency on equity market moves, shifts in risk sentiment or macro dynamics could quickly disrupt this linkage.
In summary, a S&P 500 breakout is likely to have a bullish impact on Bitcoin's price, reinforcing momentum and driving it toward new highs. Bitcoin increasingly behaves like a risk-on asset linked with traditional market sentiment, and institutional flows and ETF inflows amplify its response to equity market moves. However, traders must watch for sudden changes in macro risk appetite, as this relationship can reverse sharply.
