Bitcoin, Ethereum, and just about every other asset on the planet trades against the dollar on its most liquid trading pair, and the greenback is the base currency that all exchanges rates are based on. The power and influence of the almighty dollar cannot be understated, and the crypto market could soon feel the surprising sting…
Today, Bitcoin has experienced one of its deadliest single-day drops on record in terms of dollar amount moved. And the reason behind it could be the greenback itself. Dollar sentiment is at extreme lows and crypto market exuberance is sky high – could it be time for a reversal in each asset or at the…
It is safe to assume that Bitcoin’s parabolic rally in 2020 has everything to do with the underperformance of its arch-nemesis, the US dollar. The charts tell the entire story. In March 2020, a 60 percent crash in the Bitcoin market coincided with an 8.80 percent jump in the US dollar index, a barometer to…
Bitcoin is trading at over $20,000, but the start of what might be the first real correction since the uptrend first began could be forming.

It is Monday. Bitcoin is holding above crucial technical support at $11,400. Meanwhile, its safe-haven rival, the US dollar, is experiencing a sharp decline.

The common narrative shared over recent months is that Bitcoin is adversely affected by increases in the value of the U.S. dollar. Case in point: when the dollar began to spike in February and March, BTC began to tumble lower, as did the S&P 500 and the price of gold. More recently, when Bitcoin topped…
While Bitcoin is touted as uncorrelated, the cryptocurrency has been following the inverse of one asset over the past few months: the U.S. dollar. Like gold, BTC’s price action is partially dictated by the value of fiat currencies. Over the past few months, the negative correlation gold and Bitcoin have with the U.S. dollar has…
The dollar’s impact on markets in 2020 cannot be overstated. Its weakness and decline in the face of the pandemic and a dwindling US economy, has allowed assets like Bitcoin, precious metals, and equities to surge.
