BTC around $60k while stocks are at ATH, what happens if equities finally CORRECT?

I'm trying to understand the macro picture here.

A lot of AI and tech stocks are near all-time highs, while Bitcoin is still sitting around the $60k range and hasn't participated to the same extent.

My question is: if the stock market finally sees a meaningful correction, what do you think happens to BTC?

**Scenario 1:** Bitcoin falls with everything else because it's still viewed as a risk asset, and investors de-risk across the board.

**Scenario 2:** Capital rotates out of overheated AI/tech names and back into crypto, especially if investors start looking for the next source of returns.

Historically we've seen Bitcoin trade both as a high-beta risk asset and as an alternative to traditional markets depending on the environment.

I'm curious how people are thinking about this cycle. If the stock market drops 15-20%, do you expect BTC to:

* Drop harder?
* Hold up relatively well?
* Benefit from a rotation of capital?

What's the strongest argument for your view?
