The correlation between bitcoin and gold has hit its highest since the 2020 mess while its nasdaq ties are fading hard 🖤.
Gold Ties Getting Cozy 🪙
This shift popped after that mid-august pump when the us treasury said it would double liquidity buybacks on old debt from $2 billion to $4 billion per move 🌸. Btc shot from under $65,000 to over $80,000 in days while gold climbed from $4,350/oz to $4,700/oz before getting rejected 💀. The kobeissi letter crew pointed out how btc’s gold correlation kicked into high gear right after that treasury action with folks stacking both as shields against fiat rot even as gold gave back most gains 🕸️. Grayscale’s zach pandl backed it noting the btc-gold link jumped from near zero early in the year to over 50% while nasdaq vibes headed the other way. US debt smashing past $40 trillion plus endless deficits and fiat worries have the debasement trade back in the spotlight 👁️. Both btc and gold’s tight supply makes them hot under that view despite btc’s wild swings.
Nasdaq Drift Getting Real 📉
On the flip btc’s 90-day nasdaq 100 correlation dropped from over 60% to around 30%-33% 🦇. That’s a huge flip from back when btc acted like some turbo tech stock mooning with growth names on easy money and crashing otherwise. The august pump showed the opposite with btc up over 20% in days while stocks lagged 🐈⬛. This split hints investors now prize btc’s scarcity and money vibes over just calling it another risk bet. Still the change isn’t total since friday’s reaction to hot jobs data showed both dipping together a bit.
