Bitcoin Rotation Bet Grows as Analyst Spots Market Shift Ahead

A potential signal in Bitcoin’s market behavior is drawing attention as investors look for clues about where money could move next. Analyst Pumponomics said he recently increased his crypto exposure after spotting a bullish divergence between Bitcoin and the S&P 500, a pattern he believes could indicate capital returning to digital assets. 

Pumponomics said he had previously favored fast-growing sectors such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and space technology over cryptocurrencies. However, his view changed after he noticed similarities between today’s stock market leaders and past crypto market cycles. 

He wrote, “the rotation is coming, and our coins are cheap here.” He also argued that if capital does move back into crypto, it is more likely to flow into a small group of established digital assets rather than the broader market of speculative tokens.

The analyst’s thesis centers on a chart comparing Bitcoin against the S&P 500. According to Pumponomics, a weekly bullish divergence has started forming. Although the signal remains unconfirmed, he noted that a similar divergence previously preceded an extended period of Bitcoin outperformance.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading below its earlier peak prices of 2025. Nevertheless, momentum indicators suggest a bullish bias.

Both the Relative Strength Index and MACD have formed higher lows while price trends lower. As a result, selling pressure may be weakening. Similar conditions appeared during Bitcoin’s 2022 market bottom before a broader recovery emerged.

Not all analysts are convinced that Bitcoin is ready for a sustained move higher. Trader Michaël van de Poppe said the cryptocurrency faces an important test in the coming days, with its ability to hold key support levels likely determining its next direction. He wrote on X that, “It’s all depending on the coming few days for #Bitcoin.” He also pointed to the importance of reclaiming the 21-day moving average.

Van de Poppe noted that altcoins have recently shown signs of strength, a trend that could provide support for the broader crypto market. Still, he said Bitcoin needs further confirmation before a stronger recovery can be established.

Broader market risks also remain in focus. Arthur Hayes recently reduced his exposure to several major cryptocurrency positions, citing concerns over artificial intelligence valuations, geopolitical tensions, and global liquidity conditions.

At this stage, investors continue to assess the implications of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision. According to CoinMarketCap data, the total cryptocurrency market was valued at $2.23 trillion, while the Fear and Greed Index stood at 23, reflecting continued caution across the market.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.

The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%

For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
