According to Crypto Rover, Bitcoin has broken its cycle swing highs ahead of the U.S. stock market, marking an unprecedented divergence between crypto and traditional equities (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter, May 23, 2025). This early breakout signals strong independent momentum in the crypto market, potentially attracting risk-on traders and institutional investors seeking returns uncorrelated with U.S. equities. For active traders, the current price action highlights Bitcoin’s role as a leading indicator and may spark increased volatility and trading opportunities across altcoins as capital flows shift toward crypto assets.
