Today, the steering wheel of the crypto market isn't in crypto's hands. It's in the hands of a memory stock. In the morning, chip stocks started crashing from Seoul, with AI stocks plunging 10%, and Bitcoin followed suit, dipping intraday to touch $60k. In the evening, Micron's earnings report blew past expectations, risk sentiment immediately reversed, and Bitcoin bounced 3% from its lows, climbing back above $61k. Do you see it now? What set the tone for Bitcoin today had nothing to do with on-chain data, the halving narrative, or whale movements. The real decision-maker was a memory chip company and whether its earnings were good or not. When the chip sector coughed, Bitcoin caught a fever. When AI stocks recovered, it quickly followed suit. Even crypto stocks like COIN, Circle, and Galaxy rose 2 to 4 points after hours, all following the chips' lead. So much for "digital gold" and "safe-haven asset." Today's performance feels more like Nasdaq's last dog on a leash. Wherever the broader market goes, that's where it gets dragged. I won't comment much on the market. Instead of staring at Bitcoin's K-line in frustration, look up at the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Today's crypto script was written by it.
