Bitcoin slipping after the Federal Reserve rate cut did not switch the risk off mood for investors. Yahoo Finance is Ines Ferre joins us now with the latest. Ines.

Yeah, Josh, if we take a look at Bitcoin, it’s trading at around 91,000 per token. It’s down about 2 and 1/2% over the last 24 hours.

There’s definitely a decoupling trend that we’ve noticed this past month. Uh decouple with crypto decoupling from the broader market. If you take a look at the S&P 500, I mean, it’s on pace for a record close today. Meanwhile, you’ve got Bitcoin that year to date is down 3%. This would be the first time that crypto meaningfully decouples from the broader market, equity market for the first time since 2014, if we keep on with this pace.

Because you’ve had Bitcoin that’s not been able to meaningfully punch up above 94,000. That’s a level that some analysts have been talking about and also the fact that you’ve had recent buyers that have a cost basis of about 103,000 on the token.

So anytime you see a rally, you would have uh traders that are selling into that rally rather than accumulating more. Um, but what is the catalyst that is going to take crypto higher? Well, look, we know that the Fed cut from yesterday, that was already baked in. Now there may be a pause in January.

So the question really is what will it take for uh crypto to go higher going forward? I mean, ETH also, look, down more than 5%, really giving up some of these gains that we’ve seen over the last several sessions for Ether. Uh, so, uh, if we take a look at crypto related stocks as well, not a great day for those.

01:47 Ines Ferre

You’re looking at uh Coin that’s down more than 2%, Robin Hood down 9%. And this is because uh Robin Hood’s trading volumes in November were down across the board for equities, options and crypto. So you’re seeing that the stock is slumping.

02:07 Ines Ferre

But if we take a look at a year-to-date chart for Robin Hood, it’s still up 230%. This is the fourth best performer of the S&P 500, Josh.

02:18 Josh

Alright Ines, thank you. Appreciate it.
