During this period, Bitcoin hasn’t been at all following the U.S. stock market. If it were, BTC would have already hit 50k. Back then, when the storage sector surged, BTC was sliding hard. You can check for yourselves: from early June to mid-June, SanDisk kept surging aggressively and broke above 2,300, while BTC dropped below 60k in early June. In reality, they’ve been moving in opposite directions—meaning BTC is now running an independent trend, waiting for a day when there’s an opportunity to fill the gap of 49,000–53,000.
