Title: GOLD - BITCOIN negative correlation?!?!
Post by: sulkair on November 02, 2015, 05:43:43 PM
Hi guys, first time poster here.

I'm sure this has been discussed before.  But after nearly a year of fairly stable prices I thought I'd look at the correlation between Gold and BTC.  I'm comparing two 6 month charts.

Seems pretty hard to argue against.  Don't they look inversely correlated?

Why would this be????  Isn't Gold and BTC both a hedge against Fiat?  Why wouldn't they follow one another?

See charts:
