Bitcoin Soars to Highest in 5 Months as Correlation With Gold Turns Negative

The price of bitcoin hit the highest in over five months, as an increasing number of traders dived into the cryptocurrency in hopes that it would once again soar to the record highs witnessed earlier this year.

Bitcoin was up by more than 1% on Tuesday morning before settling to just above $56,000, marking a weekly gain of over 15% and the highest since May. The latest rally is the result of a number of factors, particularly the fading of concerns regarding regulatory efforts in the US and China, as well as the SEC potentially approving the first bitcoin ETF.

In the meantime, according to Ned Davis Research strategist Pat Tschosik, the one-year correlation between gold and bitcoin has been steadily declining, and is about to turn negative, suggesting that the prices are no longer moving in unison. “Bitcoin could be seen as the preferred inflation hedge if the dollar and real rates are rising,” Tschosik told CNBC.
