Bitcoin Correlation With S&P 500 Nears All-Time High, How Could This Impact Crypto?

2020-6-22 22:30

The correlation between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 has proven to be dangerous for the first-ever cryptocurrency. It even helped to drag down the asset during the Black Thursday collapse.

The crypto asset’s new bull market on the horizon. Yet the correlation with the stock market is once again nearing all-time high levels and at risk of another crash. How could this impact Bitcoin in the days and weeks ahead if the stock market does collapse?

Black Thursday Kicks Off Catastrophic Stock Market Crypto Correlation

No assets were safe from the devastation, not even precious metals.

The uncertainty following the world learning of the outbreak, until shortly following the crash, kicked off an uncanny correlation with crypto. The correlation has proven mostly negative for the first-ever cryptocurrency.

When the correlation began to fade, Bitcoin deviated and rallied harder. Eventually, the S&P 500 caught up with the crypto asset, however.

Now as fear, uncertainty, and doubt begin to take hold of markets once again, the correlation has returned in a big way.

According to data, the correlation only rears its ugly head when there are high levels of fear and uncertainty. This can be measured by VIX or the volatility index.

VIX began picking up again on June 10th, causing the correlation between Bitcoin and the SPX to near all-time high.

Comparing price action from then and now, as soon as the VIX began to heat up, momentum began to fade. As momentum to the upside faded, it gathered to the downside. One of the most powerful moves in finance history resulted.
