BTC’s 90-day price correlation with gold has reached +0.56, its highest level since most data providers started measuring it in January 2017 and higher than its prior record of +0.5 in November 2020. Meanwhile, the 90-day correlation of BTC with the Nasdaq 100 index slid to roughly +0.30 over the same window, a one-year low. Pearson price correlations range from -1 to +1.
