For over half a year, we keep track of how Bitcoin fails in comparison to traditional markets. This is not a trivial comparison of the Performance. Institutional investors are interested in Bitcoins claim to be a non-correlated, stable Asset, extremely. In a guest contribution on the €uro Fund research dedicated to BTC-ECHO the question of whether Bitcoin and the strongly correlated crypto market would be a good addition to classic portfolio. This question is the institutional investors in the crypto-market is interested in, less of a hope of a new Bull Run like the end of 2017. In order to clarify the Suitability of classical Portfolios can be considered an Investor in various sizes:

the correlation between the Bitcoin price and the traditional markets nThe volatility and Performance the Bitcoin-course

We pay attention in this series of articles, therefore, on these three sizes. You will be charged for each day on the Basis of the last 30 days. As a comparison, assets in traditional markets, we consider indices S&P 500, Nikkei and Dax, as well as Oil and Gold.

correlation: Bitcoin stands against the classical markets

Because within the Top 10 everything of Bitcoin-oriented and institutional investors look at current currencies in the first line on the biggest of all Crypto, we will look at the Top 10 crypto-currencies skip. Currencies something interesting – institutional interest or special features of the correlations within the Crypto – happen, we respond.

unlike in the past week, the correlations between the Bitcoin price and the comparison assets were to grow again. While the Nikkei Index, Oil and the DAX have to Bitcoin is a negative correlation, the coupling to the S&P 500 and Gold positive again:

The correlation to Gold is achieved not in a long time-seen heights of up to 20 per cent, the S&P 500 index and the DAX have a slight increase. The rest of the Assets have changed, however, hardly:

Overall, the absolute mean correlation with the other markets at 17 percent. Thus, the price of Bitcoin has again the lowest coupling to the comparison of assets in this market comparison. Taking into account compensation effects, the image of the past few weeks has been confirmed: a negative correlation of 6% of the Bitcoin’s exchange rate is significantly anti-correlated as the Nikkei Index (-4 percent).

Finally, the volatility decreases, so Bitcoin to its reputation as a “digital Gold” will actually meet.
