Bitcoin beat the S&P 500 on just one-fifth of trading days in June, its weakest relative showing in six years. Its daily win rate is now back above 50%, while stocks are flat.
Why it matters
The change marks a reversal in Bitcoin's performance against equities. With stocks flat, the improved win rate points to a Bitcoin-specific bid rather than a rising stock market carrying both assets higher.
Market impact
The measure tracks how often BTC outperforms the S&P 500, not the size of its gains or its absolute price return. The question for investors is whether Bitcoin can sustain that edge beyond the latest reading.
