Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin [BTC] has experienced a varied price trend. This trend has influenced its correlation with stock prices, as a recent chart illustrates.
The report from Kaiko noted that the correlation between Bitcoin and the NASDAQ 100 has reached its lowest point in recent months. The observed chart showed that this correlation declined to around 13%.
What the NASDAQ 100 and Bitcoin correlation are
The NASDAQ-100 is a stock market index comprising 100 of the largest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Recognized for its emphasis on technology, it encompasses companies across diverse sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer discretionary, and more. The NASDAQ 100 is commonly used as a benchmark for gauging the technology sector’s performance.
A correlation of 13% between Bitcoin and the NASDAQ 100 signifies a very weak or nearly negligible positive correlation.
The positive correlation coefficient implies that, on average, when BTC moves in a particular direction, the NASDAQ 100 tends to follow suit.
However, the low magnitude of 13% indicates that this tendency is weak. Nevertheless, this situation may offer an opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolios.
