Bitcoin price rise pushes up stocks
Bitcoin price, at the time of writing, can be seen hovering above $26,200 after increasing by a little more than 4% in the past 24 hours. Tuesday’s green candlestick comes as a relief to investors after the death cross of the previous day.
A flip of the $26,430 resistance into support could be key in establishing a sustained recovery rally for BTC.

In addition to Bitcoin price, altcoins might also feel a bullish wave of recovery. The impact does not stop there: optimism has also reached the stock market. Publicly traded companies listed on the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 index affiliated with cryptocurrencies are noting a surge in their value.
These companies include the likes of Bitcoin miners Riot Platform (RIOT) and Marathon Holdings (MARATHON). The former is noting an increase of 5% at the time of writing, rising by nearly 10% during the intra-day trading hours. Additionally, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy (MSTR) crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN), among others, is observing increases as well.
Bitcoin and stocks’ correlation
The stock markets, both Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 index, share a slight negative correlation with Bitcoin -0.2 and -0.04, respectively. This makes the crypto-affiliated companies’ price rise an interesting deviation from the indices as a whole.

However, the likes of RIOT, MARATHON and MSTR remain an exception since their correlation with Bitcoin is closer to 1. COIN, too, shares a correlation of 0.39, which, despite being low, is still positive.
