BTC goes up. Nasdaq goes up. So… did Nasdaq cause Bitcoin to pump? Not necessarily. Two assets moving together only tells you they’re correlated. It doesn’t prove that one caused the other. Maybe both are reacting to the same thing: Lower rate expectations → stronger risk

AI visual note: The image is an infographic from "Quant AI" titled "Moving Together Does Not Mean Cause," which illustrates the difference between correlation and causation using BTC and Nasdaq as examples, and poses the "Third-Factor Test" (A→B, B→A, C) to help users investigate whether a common underlying factor—like lower rate expectations—might be driving both assets rather than one causing the other. The caption complements the post by visualizing the core argument that BTC and Nasdaq rising together only shows correlation, and prompts readers to question whether a third factor, such as shifting rate expectations, is truly behind the simultaneous moves.
