Correlation Between Bitcoin and Gold Prices Rises to 76%
Over the past few months, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold prices has surged to a new high in 2023, following bullish closures and the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. The correlation between Bitcoin and gold has historically exhibited significant fluctuations in the realm of digital assets. This implies that the prices of these two assets mostly move independently, and when one rises, the other may not necessarily follow suit. However, after the market crash that occurred at the onset of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, their correlation became tighter, and it is now approaching historical levels once again. Currently, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold stands at 0.76 (or 76%). A correlation of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation between two variables, in this case, the prices of Bitcoin and gold (while -1 represents perfect negative correlation). Although the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has not reached its historical peak, it is now getting closer.

In the third quarter, Korean retail investors made net purchases of US stocks worth approximately 10.15 trillion won, marking a complete reversal from the previous pattern in the first half of the year, when they made net purchases of nearly 100 trillion won in KOSPI stocks. In September alone, the sell-off amount reached as high as 14.2 trillion won. Analysts attribute this shift to a combination of factors: a sharp decline in KOSPI at high levels, the continued strength of the US stock market driven by AI themes, and the appreciation of the Korean won reducing currency exchange costs.
