The U.S. stock market is undoubtedly the main battleground for global liquidity, especially with technology stocks led by Nvidia, which have become a significant reference signal for capital allocation worldwide.

Now, the cryptocurrency market is also influenced by the trends of U.S. tech stocks, with increasing price correlation. According to The Kobeissi Letter citing Bloomberg data, the 30-day correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 index recently rose to about 0.8, the highest level since 2022 and the second highest in nearly a decade. In contrast, the correlation between Bitcoin and cash or gold is essentially zero. Bitcoin's performance is increasingly resembling that of a leveraged tech stock.

As the third-quarter earnings reports of U.S. stocks are being disclosed, this article summarizes the capital movements of 11 financial giants, showing a clear trend of risk differentiation. Companies like JPMorgan, Invesco, and Wells Fargo have chosen to continue increasing their positions in tech stocks, while Berkshire Hathaway has reduced its holdings in Apple while initiating a position in Google for the first time. Bridgewater and the Saudi sovereign fund have adopted defensive strategies, significantly reducing their holdings in overvalued tech stocks and increasing their allocation to index ETFs. Additionally, many institutions have made related arrangements in crypto assets, but the overall investment proportion remains small.

JPMorgan: Continues to Increase Tech Stock Holdings, Nvidia Surpasses Microsoft as Largest Position
