Bitcoin Lags Behind Stocks Over The Past 2 Weeks – Temporary Pause Or Trend Shift? | Bitcoinist.com
Related Reading: Bitcoin Futures Rattled By Political Shock – $324M Liquidated In A DayTop analyst Daan shared insights highlighting a key divergence between crypto and equities: Bitcoin has underperformed stocks over the past two weeks. While BTC initially outpaced traditional markets during the recent tariff standoff, its momentum has stalled, even as major equity indices continue consolidating near their local highs.
This weakening correlation suggests that while Bitcoin may benefit from longer-term uncertainty, its short-term trajectory remains vulnerable to broader market sentiment and capital rotation. As the week unfolds, all eyes remain on BTC’s ability to reclaim resistance levels and whether it will lead or lag the next macro-driven move.
Bitcoin Stalls Below ATH As Market Awaits Direction
Bitcoin could be setting the stage for a decisive move as it holds firm above $100K, despite recent weakness across global markets. While the leading cryptocurrency has outperformed most asset classes this year—rallying over 50% from its April lows—momentum has stalled just below the $112K all-time high. The current pause comes amid growing systemic risks, with the US economy entering a tight financial environment marked by rising bond yields, stubborn inflation, and increasing trade tensions with China.
According to Daan, Bitcoin has underperformed equities over the past two weeks, diverging from its usual leadership during volatile macro periods. While BTC led the rally during the recent tariff drama, it has since entered a phase of consolidation, even as stocks hover near their local highs. This signals a weakening correlation between traditional markets and digital assets.
With macro pressures intensifying, Bitcoin’s reaction in the coming days will be critical. A successful push above $112K would signal renewed strength, while a drop below $103K could expose downside risk.

BTC Weekly Chart Analysis: A Critical Zone Below All-Time Highs
Bitcoin is currently consolidating just below its all-time high of $112K, trading around $104,571 on the weekly chart. After reaching highs of $106,854 this past week, BTC has shown signs of rejection near the $109,300 resistance level — a zone that has now been tested multiple times in this cycle. Despite a slight weekly decline of around 1.07%, the price still remains firmly above the $103,600 support zone, a key level to watch going forward.

However, as long as BTC stays above $103,600 and maintains its ascending trend, the bulls remain in control. A strong breakout above $109,300 could open the door to price discovery and a run beyond $115K.
Conversely, a breakdown below the support range would signal short-term weakness and potentially trigger a deeper correction toward the $95K–$100K zone.
