Bitcoin (BTC) staged a rally alongside traditional financial markets, recording its strongest monthly gain in a year.

According to cryptocurrency specialized media Cointelegraph on May 1 (local time), Bitcoin recorded a significant increase throughout April, achieving its highest monthly performance in the last year. During the same period, the S&P, a representative index of the U.S. stock market, hit an all-time high, indicating a strong buying trend across all risk assets.

This surge is noteworthy because both virtual assets and stock markets simultaneously showed a 'risk-on' trend. In fact, in April 2026, the S&P rose by more than 10%, marking its strongest monthly performance since 2020, and Bitcoin also showed a strong rebound in line with this.

The market views this simultaneous rise as closely linked to changes in the macroeconomic environment. Analysis suggests that easing geopolitical tensions, improved corporate earnings, and stable economic indicators stimulated investor sentiment, leading to a simultaneous inflow of funds into both stocks and virtual assets.

In particular, Bitcoin is overcoming its early-year sluggishness and strengthening its rebound trend, re-emphasizing its presence in the market. After a short-term correction period, an upward momentum has re-formed, and a trend of strengthening correlation with traditional financial markets is also emerging.

Ultimately, this trend is interpreted as a signal that virtual assets are being incorporated into the global financial market, beyond being an independent asset class. Investors are closely watching for potential further fluctuations due to future macroeconomic variables, amidst the strengthening synchronization with the stock market.
