Bitcoin’s Correlation With Gold, Ether, And Stocks Down; Shall BTC Investors Worry?

The decreasing correlation between Bitcoin and gold shows that the frequently stated objective of turning Bitcoin into a store of value comparable to digital gold is still far off. Analyst and Head of Research at Investoo, Dan Ashmore.  warned the investors in a blog and said the crypto markets went into meltdown last month as a result of the correlation between gold and Bitcoin falling to its lowest level since the FTX collapse in November, while the rest of the financial world traded rather calmly, including gold. 

The correlation has decreased ever since. In fact, when examining the more erratic 30-day Pearson correlation statistic, the connection is getting closer to being almost perfectly negative during the previous 30 days. It hasn’t dipped this low since more than two years ago.

Correlation With Ether And Stocks Down Too

The recent trend of Bitcoin’s correlation with Ether hitting its lowest position since 2021 is also truly notable. The statistical relationship between the price changes of Bitcoin and Ether, the two biggest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, is referred to as this correlation.

The researcher also stated that a period of turbulence in the crypto markets preceded the most recent decline in correlation. In the first week of June, the SEC they have filed lawsuits against the two largest exchanges on the planet, Binance, and Coinbase. 

Dan said, “Additionally, the decoupling of gold and Bitcoin pours cold water on the theory that Bitcoin had already obtained its “hedge” status, which was spoken in some quarters as the asset rose amid the banking wobbles in March.”

Bitcoin’s correlation with conventional stocks has unexpectedly dropped to its lowest level in five years as well, signaling a substantial departure from the historical norm. The previous 18 months have seen a major episode of decorrelation between the cryptocurrency and stock markets.

The current decorrelation stands out as one of the biggest variances to date, Dan stated in a Twitter thread. A comparison of the performance during the previous month between stocks and Bitcoin is startling. Bitcoin has seen a decrease of 9%, falling to a three-month low, while the Nasdaq composite index has increased by 10% over the same month, reaching a 14-month high. When the historical setting is taken into account, this difference becomes much more obvious.
