CRYPTO MARKET OVERVIEW – W22/2026

Week 22 of 2026 delivered the starkest crypto-equity divergence of the year so far. The S&P 500 notched its 9th straight weekly gain to a fresh ATH at 7,580 on AI earnings euphoria (Dell +12%, IBM +11%, Salesforce +9%), while BTC extended its slide to close near $73,500 — weighed down by a record 10-session, $2.97B ETF outflow streak (the longest since ETF launch in January 2024) and an Iran re-escalation that briefly pushed BTC to a weekly low of $73,105.
