JPMorgan Analysts' Bitcoin Report: 'Russell 2000 Correlation with Technology Sector at Highest Level!'
According to the JPMorgan report, Bitcoin (BTC) has the highest correlation with small-cap technology stocks in the Russell 2000 technology sector.
JPMorgan: Bitcoin Shows Strongest Correlation with Russell 2000 Technology Sector
In an analysis led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, JPMorgan analysts found that both Bitcoin and altcoins exhibited a strong correlation with small-cap tech stocks, but determined that Bitcoin's correlation was consistently higher.
Analysts wrote, "It makes sense for cryptocurrency to be more associated with venture capital financing and blockchain innovation focused on smaller technology companies rather than industry giants, rather than being associated with the largest technology stocks of crypto, due to its reliance on blockchain innovation, typical focus on smaller technology firms rather than industry giants."
JPMorgan re-evaluated the crypto-stock correlation following the simultaneous correction in US tech stocks and cryptocurrencies on Monday. The report noted that since the pandemic, crypto and stocks have structurally maintained a positive correlation:
The Russell 2000 Index tracks the smallest 2,000 stocks within the broader Russell 3000 Index, making it an important benchmark for small-cap technology companies.
JPMorgan's research shows that Bitcoin tends to peak in correlation with major technology sector changes in stocks.
The price movements of Bitcoin closely followed technology stock trends during high growth years such as 2020 and 2024, and sales periods such as 2022.
The report states, 'This model supports the idea that cryptocurrency is fundamentally connected to technology, especially when stock investors reassess the technology sector more prominently.'
With the increasing overlap between the crypto and traditional financial markets, analysts believe that the price trajectory of Bitcoin will continue to be heavily influenced by the performance of the technology sector and broader stock market trends.
