Bitcoin has fallen over 16% year-to-date, trading at approximately $72,648.22, while the S&P 500 has risen more than 10%, currently around $7,580.06. This divergence highlights Bitcoin's role as a risk-off asset amid strong traditional stock performance. Despite a moderately positive correlation between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 from January to May 2026, recent volatility has seen Bitcoin struggle to maintain gains. CryptoQuant data reveals that Bitcoin's Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) is below the neutral level at 0.99, indicating slowed profit-taking and persistent selling pressure. Additionally, Bitcoin's Net Realized Profit and Loss (NRPL) remains negative, suggesting ongoing investor losses. Despite some recovery in April and May, Bitcoin's market sentiment remains weak, with NRPL at approximately -$27.9 million by June 1.
