Bitcoin Surges 3.84% to $90,000, Decoupling from Tech Stocks Amid Dollar Weakness and New SEC Leadership

Bitcoin has surged past the $90,000 mark for the first time in 45 days, driven by strong inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a noticeable decoupling from U.S. tech stocks.

Analysts suggest that this movement indicates Bitcoin is beginning to trade more like gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, rather than following the trends of tech stocks.
