Analyst: S&P 500 and Bitcoin are macro correlated but that’s not a bad thingBTC $11,770 (+0.5%) • ETH $407 (+2.3%) • XRP $0.29 (+0.6%)
The recent narrative is that Bitcoin is now correlated with the price of gold. From a fundamental perspective, analysts say this makes sense; both BTC and the precious metal are extremely scarce assets that aren’t controlled by a central authority and can be ‘found’ by anyone with the right materials. A prominent cryptocurrency analyst, though, is certain that the real correlation that Bitcoin has is one with the S&P 500, the leading equities index in the U.S. Although this may be bad for the narrative that BTC is an uncorrelated asset, the analyst says that the existence of the correlation is actually a bullish trend for cryptocurrencies. 📈 Trending … DeFi Tokens • Oracle Tokens • Biggest Gainers • Stablecoins More news ⏬Coinbase CEO says Apple is too “restrictive” towards cryptocurrenciesCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said tech giant Apple has “restrictive” policies towards the cryptocurrency sector, as per a tweet this weekend.
