Elon Musk plans a three-point-six trillion dollar merger of Tesla and SpaceX. Meta smashes its earnings estimates. These should be rocket fuel for the markets. So why is Bitcoin down two percent this morning?

Let's break down the news. The Musk merger plan sent Tesla stock climbing three and a half percent at yesterday's close. At the same time, Meta reported earnings that crushed analyst estimates, and announced its Muse accounts have topped ten million users.

This is the tell. Two of the biggest names in tech deliver historic news, and the broader market shrugs. Crypto is red across the board. It tells you that macro fear is still completely in charge. With fresh headlines warning of instability in the Middle East, the market is ignoring company wins and focusing only on systemic risk.

This disconnect is the key story right now, and I'm tracking the narratives over at korra dot finance. If markets can't rally on news this big, it confirms the bears are still running the show.
