Bitcoin is no longer a non-correlated asset. It's positively correlated to risk assets like equities, and negatively correlated to safe-haven assets like #gold. When risk assets go down, #Bitcoin goes down more. But when risk assets go up, Bitcoin goes up less. No value in that!

Elaborating on the above tweet by the renowned broker and economist, Peter Schiff, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies have made their way amidst the other promising investment avenues like stocks, gold, bonds, futures, etc. While it made its way as a premier investment asset, Peter Schiff believes BTC to be directly or positively correlated with the risk attributed asset and inversely or negatively correlated with the haven assets.
Now the question that surrounds that is that really the case?
Aligning our thought to the investment market technicality, we believe that regulating the market will help it correlate with other investment avenues in a better way. Until it keeps running on the basic rule of Economics, i.e., demand and supply, the crypto or Bitcoin whales are likely to snatch away everything, and the layman will consider himself to be incapable.

And, being exposed to this volatility, it is likely to question the security of the capital invested and appears as a pure gamble. However, comparing BTC with gold appears baseless to us as the two have many demarcations.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
Analyzing the above 4-hourly movement of Bitcoin against the US Dollar, we see a head & shoulder pattern that has formed and confirm the forthcoming bullish-to-bearish trend reversal after the same. Thereby, we are likely to see a further price reduction due to the upcoming volatile days as per the widening 20-day Bollinger Bands. The bottom price hit by BTC is acting as the major support around $7,600, while the immediate resistance lies around $8,000 followed by $8,200. However, a further fall is likely to test supports at $7,500 and $7,300, turning the price of Bitcoin totally bearish.
