Digital assets appreciate during periods of <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/how-the-feds-policy-rate-affects-cryptocurrency-prices\">low interest rates<\/a> and depreciate when the Federal Reserve raises them.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the past six months, this pattern has broken. Since late August, gold has risen by 51%, the S&#038;P 500 has gained 7%, while Bitcoin has plummeted by 43%. Researchers have recorded the weakest correlation between these assets since the crisis of November 2022.<\/p>\n<p>While the leading cryptocurrency declines, traditional markets remain stable. Nonetheless, experts consider this decoupling a temporary phenomenon caused by capital flows. It is expected that Bitcoin will soon return to its usual pattern and resume moving in tandem with stocks.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half of 2025, analysts anticipate three reductions in the Federal Reserve&#8217;s key rate. Easing monetary policy will create conditions for a rapid upward move of the asset.
