BlockBeats News: On April 24th, according to a report released by CryptoQuant analyst oinonen_t, the most important trend for Bitcoin currently is its decoupling from the US stock index. In the past seven days, Bitcoin has clearly detached from the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index, and its correlation with traditional stocks and technology stocks is weakening. The correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and the S&P 500 decreased from 0.88 at the end of 2024 to 0.77, and the correlation coefficient with Nasdaq also decreased from 0.91 in January to 0.83.
It is worth noting that the correlation between Bitcoin and gold is increasing, with the correlation coefficient rising from -0.62 at the beginning of the month to the current -0.31. Bitcoin used to lag behind the trend of gold by several months. If the current trend of decoupling from the stock index continues, gold may become a leading indicator for Bitcoin, subject to other conditions remaining unchanged.
