Definition ∞ Tech sector correlation describes the degree to which the price movements of digital assets align with those of technology stocks. This relationship often arises because both cryptocurrencies and technology equities are considered growth assets, sensitive to similar macroeconomic factors like interest rates and investor risk appetite. High correlation indicates that digital asset prices tend to move in the same direction as major technology indices, reflecting shared market drivers.
Context ∞ The current discussion around tech sector correlation often examines how changes in monetary policy, particularly interest rate hikes, impact both technology stocks and riskier digital assets. A key debate involves whether cryptocurrencies will eventually decouple from traditional equity markets, establishing their own independent valuation drivers.
