FEATURED CHART
Below is the quarterly correlation between growth stocks (the Nasdaq 100) and Bitcoin. Values above zero indicate a positive correlation, and the closer to one, the stronger the correlation becomes. While in recent quarters the correlation trend has been more choppy than historical norms, it has moved back into positive territory.
With talks of the Bitcoin halvening intensifying, it’s important to identify that broader liquidity conditions seem to have a more prominent role in the price action of crypto assets.
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
We're monitoring whether this short-term consolidation resolves lower. On the 4-hour candlestick chart, we're looking at 50,500 as this represents the lows of this consolidation that has taken place in the back half of February.
But these are shorter timeframes. There is plenty of support that has been laid down in the mid 40,000s.
