According to Odaily, CryptoQuant analyst Joao Wedson has observed a positive correlation between altcoins and Bitcoin, indicating that these cryptocurrencies have been following Bitcoin's price trends in recent days. This behavior reflects market consistency, with altcoins moving in sync with Bitcoin, showcasing investor confidence in the overall market.
Historically, when the average altcoin correlation tends to negative values, it has been a warning signal for Bitcoin and the entire market. This negative correlation usually occurs when altcoins significantly outperform Bitcoin, often preceding a decline in Bitcoin's price, necessitating caution among investors. This phenomenon was clearly observed in January, June, and July 2024, when altcoins outperformed Bitcoin, followed by a market 'sell-off,' particularly affecting Bitcoin.
Currently, altcoins such as BNT, AXS, LINK, ALGO, and ADA exhibit the highest correlation with Bitcoin. Conversely, altcoins like DASH, CRV, DYDX, BNB, and ALICE show the lowest correlation levels, indicating more independent movements from Bitcoin. However, overall, all these altcoins still display a positive correlation, suggesting that despite individual differences, they all follow Bitcoin's trends. This behavior reinforces the view that the market is currently aligned with Bitcoin's movements, which may indicate short-term stability but also necessitates ongoing vigilance to identify potential deviations that could signal higher risks.
