Weaker dollar fails to spur BTC price gains, here's the reason why from JPMorgan
Summary
Despite the Dollar Index dropping 10% over the past year, Bitcoin has failed to rally, losing 13% in the same period, unlike gold and other hard assets. Strategists at J.P. Morgan Private Bank attribute this divergence to the dollar's recent slide being driven by short-term flows and sentiment, rather than fundamental shifts in growth or monetary policy expectations. Because the underlying macro drivers are not seen as durable, the crypto market treats Bitcoin as a liquidity-sensitive risk asset rather than a traditional dollar hedge or store-of-value trade. J.P. Morgan suggests that assets like gold and emerging-market exposure are more direct beneficiaries of dollar diversification, concluding that Bitcoin may continue to lag until growth or rate dynamics replace sentiment as the primary driver of currency markets.
