Today, the US stock future goes down near 900 points then the bitcoin prices goes down too. It happened the same in March 2020 when the US stock market goes down then Bitcoin goes down $4500. Any one knows the psychology or the mood of the trader?
It is a good sign in some sense. Because this crypto space is having traders and and investors from Wall street and from other institutional fund managing houses. When a trader see a downfall on stocks they may react on everywhere regardless of the individual potential of different assets. This is just an assumption based on what happened some 3 to 4 years back and what is happening on crypto space against stock's movements.
People do call gold and silver as alternative instruments for stocks but I have seen gold prices are following index of big exchanges. It means when one or two stocks fall and rise that may not impact gold prices but when overall stock market index is fluctuating then gold prices do follows it.
When traders understand the ecosystem of bitcoins like its impacting and influencing factors then they not follow the same trend of stocks; they may switch to bitcoin when stocks not doing good and vice versa. But, when treat bitcoins similar to just another stock/ trading asset then experiencing same fluctuations of stocks may remain inevitable. But, it seems those institutional traders are having complete different approach on gold which must be the reason gold remains unaffected of US stocks.
