Can a Stock Market Crash affect Bitcoin?

[Polar91]

I was thinking that investors would think the cryptocurrency market as an alternative to traditional investment products.
Having said that, my point was that those two markets have a reverse impact.

If the stock market goes down, then investors would start searching for alternative (more profitable) investments and turn to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
The last days stock market crash seems that lead the market cap of the crypto market down.

Does the Stock Market has impact over the Bitcoin price?

Certainly no; we can't conclude that Stock market's investors will pull out their investment in order to shift into cryptocurrency market vice versa. A lot of stock market investors are not investing in cryptocurrency yet because they don't know how its market works.

It seems like it does not affect BTC at all, I was thinking when BTC dump below $10,000 that it's because of the stock market crash, but as wake up today, BTC is back to its good price and we can really tell how strong BTC this year as it's very stable and holding at the level of $10,000.

I think they will prefer buying gold to bitcoin since gold is a more secured collateral when stock market crashed, but, who knows ?!?

Hi.. I agree with you some people familiar with stock market will prefer buy gold because secure also did not volatile price.
but for me Bitcoin is good option if you buy when price cheap also if you have good attitude "risk management" , the choice is yours

Does the Stock Market has impact over the Bitcoin price?

I think so. because cash flows are always flowing and financial markets are often closely linked.
For example, I'm a stock investor and am making losses when the recession comes. but i found a great company but still want to keep the old stock.
then I had to sell the crypto asset to buy that company's stock, which would cause the price of coins to fall.

indeed what is needed right now is price stability, in my opinion. after prices fell in 2018, many people came out of the world of cryptocurrency, many were afraid of business here. but this time bitcoin can maintain its stability at $ 10k, which is a good achievement

Those are newbies in crypto who got caught by the FOMO, so they easily come and easily get out of the market.
What we need are people who are true believers because they are the ones who can create a demand that will result to price increase, and when things are stable, those come and go traders will again enter the market to try to be profitable for short term.

The price now is already good but this is just a start of the possible next bull run, believe me, stock traders will again find more attractive if the bull run will take place soon.

I think it would not have any effect for bitcoin market and for a small example that Hongkong stock market were dropped because of bad situations at there and i heard the investors seeking another way to invest which is cryptocurrency would be their option but although people at there buying crypto as their assets but as you can see today that there was no effect for bitcoin price even more likely the price of majority cryptocurrency were dropped since yesterday

[RealMalatesta]

I think it can affect bitcoin in a good way considering a stock market crash means an indirect inflation. First of all companies lose on profits and they will make things more expensive in price, even if it is a service they charge more or if it is a product the profit needs to go up to make more money, which means basically is companies who lost money on the stock market will try to make it out from the customer.

Now, the price is higher that means people who earn money to use those services and products will charge more, either small business or salaries doesn't matter the price will go higher and that means inflation will go up, salaries are higher, products are more costly, services charge more all equals to inflation. Now, when inflation happens dollar loses its value and then bitcoin price goes up accordingly.

[ethereumhunter]

I hope so because people at the stock market can move into the bitcoin market, and I am sure that some of them already moves to the crypto market. And if the stock market crash, then the chance for bitcoin market or crypto market grow will bigger because we will see huge people that is join in the cryptocurrency market. That will give a chance for the cryptocurrency to increase, and the adoption process will happen fast because people from the stock market wants to search more profit from the cryptocurrency.

[Findingnemo]

In my opinion most of the traditional investors will not go for crypto related investments if there is a crash on the traditional market because crypto considerable more risky then traditional investments so they will go for storage of a level like gold or other bank related investments but  literally some of them will adapt to crypto investments as well.

[dat.ho12492]

I don't think so. There is no direct connection or influence between Bitcoin and stock market. Crash of stock exchange might make some investors to turn to Bitcoin but this is not significant number that could actually affect  Bitcoin in any way, to my opinion stock exchange investors differ from those in Bitcoin.

We don't really find a connection between the bitcoin market and the stock market but the stock market still contains too many giant fish, if this market collapses, these big fish will need to find another place to recover, somewhere in their minds, they will go to the bitcoin market when it is quite famous, and we have been in bitcoin for a long time, we can also see what is the impact of big fish on the market? However, this requires a huge accident and a forced situation, if not, the investor in the stock will not move here because for them, this land needs them to start over

In my opinion if bitcoin was experiencing a bullish market or just a healthy market growth, the stock market crash won't and shouldn't have any negative effect on the cryptocurrency market since there's no relationship between the two market. But in a situation were the growth of the cryptocurrency market is uncertain or if there was a correction in price, i have every reason to believe if the stock market crashing (like it just did) the cryptocurrency market will be affected in some manner since emotions still has it's major influence on the cryptomarket.

Let me explain my point. In a period of correction or bear market there's already uncertain in the community so when the stock does crashes it only adds to that fear as the media spreads the news which lead to fud and crashes the cryptomarket further. This might just be my reasoning considering I still believe emotions still has a major impact on the cryptomarket.

The instability of the stock market will still remain and it even affects crypto prices. We could think that there is no connection as they are an indifferent platform but they are. As bitcoin goes high, many investors will be converted into fiat and then invested in the stock market which basically affects the trend. And when the stock market will crash also, I've never thought that they will invest into bitcoin which making a way that crypto demand will be declining as well.

[Paulinerims]

Yes it can affect it. The crash of the stock market means that bitcoin will go up because people will be scared to invest in stocks. We can expect the trading volumes to go up even for the altcoins..

[imstillthebest]

Yes it can affect it.

how come when both markets are different  .

The crash of the stock market means that bitcoin will go up because people will be scared to invest in stocks.

let say it can affect but i dont think that btc's price will increase because we are not sure if stock investors will migrate on btc . you know they invested on stocks because its more stable while btc isnt but lets say some of them are also btc investors , i guess they will sell some of thier btc just to have an emergency funds if ever they loose thier money on stocks  . so the value of btc will still decline  .

We can expect the trading volumes to go up even for the altcoins..

but we are talking about btc here not alts  . basically people will only buy or sell btc

[Janation]

As far as I know, No.

I know someone that is in that market and he asked me one day for an alternative, a breather as he said it and I said why not cryptocurrency? He said, I'll look at it but after months of talking to him, he said that it is risky and I should be careful since there are a lot of people that might take advantage of my profits in the long run, he said it is fishy, also he'd rather invest in gold than cryptos. I am a bit offended at that but it is his opinion and there are a lot of people that also talks like that to crypto so I just shrugged it off. So yeah, I don't think it affects Bitcoin or any other cryptos.

[SirLancelot]

The stock market has not even crashed, many investors has started turning to cryptocurrency investment already, especially that of bitcoin investment and you see that stick market generally has been declining for a while now which bitcoin has even taken over, so if it crashes, they would just completely abandon the market and simply turn to the mist profitable one right now which is cryptocurrency trade.

Cryptocurrency market trade still benefits any investor more than stock market, whatever amount that is invested in stock market, if you give same to bitcoin market and then time both of them, you will see that the one for bitcoin would yield result faster than that of stock market, and I really see this happening in the near future, crypto market may even be the one that will quickly crashes the stock market when everyone turns to crypto.

[Oceat]

I don't think so since both of the market platforms are not correlated but technically, yes. It's not that most people from the stock market would switch quickly to cryptocurrency that's why the possibility of crashing the cryptocurrency market is slightly small. Crypto price may rise or fall quickly due to its volatility nature but stock exchange investors don't just switch to cryptocurrency if their market crash, they preferred less risky investments.

[Ozero]

I think the crash of the stock market will make investors buy bitcoin and trade it. I am currently in talks with my fund manager to sell off my mutual fund so I can invest the same in bitcoin. Bitcoin will appear to be a safe haven and this is expected to bring more liquidity to the market.

If the stock market starts to fall, then this really should positively affect the situation in the cryptocurrency market. For this, cryptocurrency was created - to be an alternative means of payment for the existing payment systems. However, it is not necessary that investors at the same time will  fleeced  Bitcoin for their investments. Now there are a lot of good cryptocurrencies and bitcoin is already losing to them in many respects.

It's all about how they've study the venue of thier investment, most skilled traders are aiming for much better safe to invest their money, finding out any possible news to take your position in a much better place, stock market have a lots of big whales who can manage to hold and wait and play well with the market.

If there is complete stock market crisis most investors will move to the bitcoin and gold but if there is a huge crisis on stocks which literally affect the whole economic ecosystem so people faces serious issues and loss of their assets even for many secured assets as well.

[darewaller]

I think it used to affect because people who were sick of market crashes in stock market moved to bitcoin but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. People who are willing to move to bitcoin or crypto in general already moved and the people who are sick of market crashes but still don't move to bitcoin is not that much in numbers anymore, what would happen already happened and now it is just few that doesn't make that much difference.

Remember there are trillions in big investment companies but all of that is consisting of people with a bit of money coming together and giving their money to those people, there are people with less than 20 thousand dollars investing into those places, those people already moved to bitcoin if they were inclined and now only the few major players left which I assume won't since they haven't already.
