Bitcoin is At Mercy of S&P 500, as “Fragile” Stock Market is at Risk | NewsBTC
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


  • Bitcoin faces a critical second half of the year as its correlation with the S&P 500 index nears 43 percent.
  • While both markets have rallied impressively from their March 2020 lows, they are far from confirming a  V-shaped recovery due to resurgence in the COVID cases.
  • Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s fiscal support measures are ending in July, further raising the possibilities of a downside correction in the S&P 500 and Bitcoin.

A bearish stock market now appears bad for Bitcoin.

The analogy pops after the S&P 500’s growing proximity with the top cryptocurrency since March 2020. Data on Skew shows that the realized one-month correlation between the two markets has grown to 43.1 percent, its highest in more than a year.

The moves in Bitcoin and the S&P 500 were almost identical this week. Ronnie Moas, the founder of cryptocurrency-focused market analysis firm Standpoint Research, called it a near 1:1 correlation, adding that the fractal brought Bitcoin “at the mercy of S&P 500.”

“During the last 18 days, both are down 10 percent,” he tweeted on Saturday.

The S&P 500 closed the week at a 2.86 percent loss as daily COVID infections increased rapidly in some U.S. states, fanning fears over about a slowdown in the economic recovery. Meanwhile, Bitcoin still has two more days to finish the week but had fallen by 1.25 percent already as of the press time.

Worries Ahead

Clearly, the enhanced presence of the Federal Reserve helped the stock market – as well as Bitcoin – recover from it March 23 low.

Nevertheless, the extravagant amounts of cash liquidity masked the underlying challenge that faces the U.S. economy. The markets are reopening but amid fears of a resurgence in the COVID cases. Meanwhile, elevated unemployment, weaker corporate earnings, and consumers’ increasing saving sentiment could limit the recovery prospects.

Didier Saint Georges, the managing director at Carmignac, told FT that investors lack visibility which may prompt them to stick with stocks with higher growth potential, such as technology and healthcare. That entails a rosy picture for Wall Street in the second half of 2020.

But for Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, the recovery will not be smooth as it looks. That is particularly because of the rising number of COVID cases in the U.S. and across the globe.

“Now as I watch what’s happening I think it’s more likely to be rolling Ws,” rather than a V, she told CNBC. “It’s not just predicated on a second wave. I’m not sure we ever exited the first wave.”

What It Means for Bitcoin

The short-term fundamentals point to an extended correction in the S&P 500. It partly due to the Federal Reserve’s expansionary monetary policy ending in July 2020. Many believe that the central bank would resume its quantitative easing by August but…
