If bitcoin is supposed to be a hedge on inflation, why is it so correlated with the stock market now that it's inversely correlated with the oil price. Isn't increased oil prices a huge driver of inflation?

why is it so correlated with the stock market
Huh? The last 11 months Bitcoin has been in a bear market spending most of the last 9 months relatively close to its 52 week low. While markets have all been pushing ATH higher and higher during that period.
That's not correlation.
If you're asking about the micro movements of Bitcoin dipping when markets dump, or vice versa... that's a result of a growing supply shock. Lack of liquidity and 4% of Bitcoin being in ETFs now, mean that sizable movement from markets that are sloshing money from large marco stuff can appear in short term to relate to Bitcoin... but when the other 95% of Bitcoin sees this, they buy that dip, and vice versa, because the macro (big picture) is that Bitcoin is very much NOT moving like the stock market on its longer trend. Its scarcity dictates that. Stock market is speculation.
Bitcoin is escape from inflation (debasement). The macro reason Bitcoin was at a low this summer is liquidity being sucked out of markets... the moment that reverses, is when you see the most asymmetric upside appear and Bitcoin takes off. This cycle repeats macro roughly 4 year, and has nothing to do with the halving cycle... they just happen to overlap because of global structures that Bitcoin aligned with on launch.

It’s a hedge against inflation in the long term. Short term means nothing. Gold did nothing for nearly 25 years, and it’s the “gold” standard for an inflation hedge.

The closer we get to October above $58k the more fear of missing out works against a dip.
22 days left... Tick Tock

many are waiting to go all-in in october regardless of the price

u/JuxtaposeLife 1h ago
Yep, and as we approach October with everyone deciding to go back in that month if price is sideways (or up) the more those people will jump in to front run the others as we approach end of Sept. Meaning September could actually be more upside than October.

You are way too sensitive to small price movements dude. Try take a break from the charts.

u/JuxtaposeLife 1h ago
Possible, but incredibly unlikely based on how markets perceived this structure. Currently...
Odds of BTC below $75k this Friday are under 10%
Odds of it below $70k by this Friday are less than 2%

Si le Standard Bitcoin est vraiment international(e), why are there so few Bitcoins moving within Canadian borders, in general?
answer: perhaps Canada is not as tolerant of multi-cultural protocols as it once thought.
