The Curious Case of Bitcoin and the Stock Market: It’s Complicated!

Market landscape illustrating Bitcoin and S&P 500

Meet Axel Adler, the financial soothsayer, who tells us that both Bitcoin and our less-exciting cousin, the S&P 500, are still in what he calls the “late bull phase.” Now, the S&P 500 climbed a modest +13% over the last year, showing that investors are still willing to bet on dreams that just might come true.
