> He said Bitcoin could also bottom before equities, even if both markets keep falling in the short term.

Crypto trader Ansem said crypto may have peaked ahead of U.S. stocks in the current cycle, a divergence that could leave digital assets exposed if equities begin a broader correction.

Ansem said the recent crypto rebound may be a countertrend move. If U.S. stocks are only starting a larger pullback, he said, digital assets could see another decline.

He also pointed to artificial intelligence and U.S. stock performance as major drivers of risk appetite during this cycle. That influence leaves open the possibility that crypto and traditional markets do not reach their peaks at the same time.

Ansem said he was not sure that scenario would play out and would watch how both markets react near key price levels. Even if the two markets keep falling in the short term, Bitcoin (BTC) could bottom before the broader stock market.
