For some months now, we keep track of how Bitcoin fails in comparison to traditional markets. This is not simply a comparison of the Performance. Institutional investors are interested in Bitcoins claim to be a non-correlated, stable Asset, extremely. Some time ago, I have dedicated myself to the part of a guest contribution on the €uro Fund research, 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. to clarify

the Suitability of classical Portfolios can be considered an Investor in various sizes. For one, it would be interesting to see whether and how much Bitcoin linked to traditional markets. On the other, a stable Asset for a long-term Investment is attractive. The volatility of the asset do not need to be extremely small, but it should have at least over a longer period of time, a certain degree of stability.

How to develop the relationship between Bitcoin and the traditional markets?

Since the beginning of November, we are therefore pursuing, and how Bitcoin compares to traditional markets. We, therefore, pay attention to the correlation in the last month, on a sliding correlation of a continuous volatility and a sliding Performance. The last three values are calculated for each day based on the last 30 days. Since the correlations within the crypto market behavior very similar to BTC for institutional investors, is currently the most interesting, we focus mostly on the Bitcoin price.

The Nikkei Index has a similar low correlation to the rest of the market, which is due to the fact that the correlations from the Nikkei Index to the Bitcoin exchange rate and for the DAX to compensate for each other fast:

remained The correlations of Bitcoin to other Assets as in the previous week, so positive for Oil, Gold and the S&P 500, negative for the Nikkei and the DAX:

Overall, the absolute mean correlation Bitcoins is with the rest of the markets 30 percent. The mother of all crypto-currencies, as at least with the rest of the market coupled. We take into account compensation effects by any of the anti-correlations, Bitcoin is correlated only to 15 percent to the rest of the market, and is thus on a par with the Nikkei Index.
