What happened

Bitcoin's 90-day rolling correlation with gold has risen to around +0.50, near a six-year high, while its correlation with the Nasdaq has fallen to a one-year low, according to The Kobeissi Letter citing Bitwise Asset Management analysis based on Bloomberg data.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Bitcoin is now moving more in step with gold, often seen as a safe-haven asset, and less with tech stocks like those in the Nasdaq, which may change how investors view Bitcoin as a diversifier in their portfolios.

Analyst inference

This shift suggests investors may be treating Bitcoin more like a store of value, similar to gold, than as a high-growth tech play, which could influence demand for Bitcoin and its role in investment strategies.

Analyst inference

What to watch

  1. Continue monitoring Bitcoin's 90-day rolling correlation with gold and the Nasdaq each week, as these figures are updated based on latest data and show how relationships change over time. Confirmed
  2. Investors could compare Bitcoin and gold price movements during market stress periods, using their daily percentage changes, to see if the higher correlation holds up in real-time. Proposed
  3. Watch whether the Bitcoin-gold correlation continues to rise above +0.50, which may signal a lasting shift in market positioning, potentially affecting demand from large investors seeking stable assets. Analyst inference
