Publication Time:2024-09-12 01:52:08
In the current market environment, a risk-averse bias among investors has led to a significant decrease in the correlation between Bitcoin and gold. According to data from CryptoQuant, the price movements of both assets have diverged notably. Recently, gold prices have reached new highs, surpassing $2,500 per ounce, while Bitcoin prices have continued to decline, falling more than 20% since reaching a historic high of over $73,000 in March. During this period, many investors have chosen to buy gold and sell Bitcoin, reflecting a preference for traditional safe-haven assets. Furthermore, the US stock market has also been impacted, with the S&P 500 index declining by 3.6% since August 30th, further intensifying demand for risk aversion. Notably, the decline in Bitcoin prices has coincided with a drop in the US Dollar Index, suggesting an increased overall sentiment towards risk aversion in the market.
