Wall Street braces for a Monday meltdown – so why is Bitcoin holding near $78,000?

Bitcoin held near $78,000 despite expectations of a sharp Wall Street sell-off, indicating relative resilience as traditional markets faced heightened risk aversion. The stability likely reflects crypto-specific positioning, expectations that any market weakness could prompt policy support, and Bitcoin’s evolving perception as an alternative macro asset. However, the divergence is not definitive: sustained equity stress, liquidity tightening, or forced deleveraging could still pressure Bitcoin.
