The current shift in the position of Bitcoin in relation to other digital assets has made it possible for the Bank of America Corp (BoA) to believe it is becoming a safe space in the blockchain industry yet again after experiencing a downfall over the past months.
BoA digital strategists Alkesh Shah and Andrew Moss observed that bitcoin and gold now have a 40-day correlation of about 0.50, up from a correlation of nearly zero in mid-August. Despite being higher, at 0.69 and 0.72 respectively, the correlations between the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 have leveled out and are now below previous highs. They further hinted that this could be a good sign that bitcoin may soon accelerate.
The analysts further stated that “as economic uncertainty persists and a market bottom yet to be seen, investors may consider Bitcoin as a relatively safe haven due to a decelerating positive correlation with SPX/QQQ and a quickly rising correlation with XAU.”
