Bitcoin surged 2.6% to over $64,000 on Monday, marking its best daily gain in over a month and outperforming the S&P 500, which fell 0.52%. This is notable as Bitcoin has underperformed the S&P 500 on about two-thirds of trading days in the past three months, partly due to the recent AI stock rally and Bitcoin's current bear market phase. The cryptocurrency's move opposite to U.S. stocks highlights its potential as a distinct asset class, especially as it approaches the expected bottom of its four-year cycle later this year.
