Gate Research: Correlation Analysis and Trading Strategies of Gold, Nasdaq Index, and Bitcoin Prices

Download the Full Report (PDF)
This report presents a systematic study of gold, the Nasdaq Index (including both Composite and Nasdaq-100), and Bitcoin (BTC), aiming to uncover their return characteristics, volatility clustering, correlation evolution, and the applicability of trading strategies under various macroeconomic contexts.

Abstract

  • BTC exhibits high price volatility and is strongly driven by sentiment and speculation. While its long-term correlation with traditional assets (such as gold and the Nasdaq) remains low, its short-term correlation with the Nasdaq rises sharply during periods of intense Federal Reserve policy shifts, particularly during tightening cycles.

  • Gold consistently displays safe-haven characteristics, often rising in price when BTC and the Nasdaq experience heightened volatility, thereby serving as an effective hedge.

  • The Nasdaq Index demonstrates a significant Granger causal relationship with BTC, indicating its movement can serve as a leading indicator for BTC, offering valuable trading insights.
