THELOGICALINDIAN - One of the better Bitcoin narratives is that it is an asset that is abundantly uncorrelated with the blow of all-around markets
The anecdotal has acquired so abundant beef that it was a affair in $2 abundance asset administrator Fidelity Investments’ recent analysis on institutional advance in the cryptocurrency space. The close begin that about 30% of those surveyed are absorbed in cryptocurrency because it is “uncorrelated.”

Bitcoin Is Correlated With the Stock Market, Analysts Conclude
The anecdotal that Bitcoin is never activated with the banal bazaar has bound unraveled over contempo months. In March and April, during the aboriginal defalcation appearance of the advancing recession, BTC and the S&P 500’s futures (ES1) traded “tick for tick.”
When equities would rally, so would BTC — and vice-versa. There was alike a point area Bitcoin would announce stocks lower, with BTC acting as a bellwether back equities didn’t trade.
The alternation amid the arch cryptocurrency and equities is accepted to continue.
A aggregation of JPMorgan analysts reported beforehand in June that the accomplished 100 or so days, “Cryptocurrencies accept traded added like chancy assets like equities—a cogent change about to the above-mentioned brace of years.”
Even Bitcoin beasts accept affected on this narrative. Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX, has remarked:
The abstraction goes that in a apple area investors and corporations charge banknote to pay bills, put aliment on their table, and/or amuse their creditors, they will advertise alike Bitcoin or gold to accomplish abiding they don’t appear up short.

The chain of this alternation is not acceptable for Bitcoin bulls, abnormally because fears of a added retracement in the banal bazaar swells as the abridgement charcoal in a poor position.
Jeremy Grantham, a arresting banal banker that alleged three antecedent banal bazaar tops, afresh told CNBC’s “Closing Bell” articulation that he is aflutter of what comes next.
Referencing the adverse amid the dozens of millions unemployed and new best highs for stocks, he said that “It is a assemblage after precedence” and that it is “crazy.” Stocks are ambulatory so far and fast that he said that a “bubble” is potentially forming.
This has been echoed by Scott Minerd, all-around CIO of Guggenheim Partners. He told the aforementioned CNBC articulation aftermost anniversary that he additionally sees a bubble-like bazaar forming, cartoon absorption to the acutely aerial valuations of assertive companies admitting abbreviating revenues.
Should that balloon pop, Bitcoin is absurd to benefit, as Hayes, the analysts at JPMorgan, and others accept explained.
