Bitcoin Price Bull Run or Bear Trap? NDX/SPX Ratio Holds the Key

Published by

Bitcoin recently surged to an all-time high of $93,445 before pulling back to $90,000—a key level that aligns with a significant trendline from its 2021 peaks. This trendline now serves as an important resistance point, and it’s crucial to watch as Bitcoin’s price fluctuates around it. But, the story doesn’t end there.

Interestingly, Bitcoin’s price movement mirrors a pattern seen in the Nasdaq-to-S&P 500 (NDX/SPX) ratio, which tracks investor sentiment in tech and emerging sectors.

Here’s what it means for you. 

Since 2017, Bitcoin has shown a close relationship with the NDX/SPX ratio, with both often moving in sync, rising and falling together. This connection was particularly clear in April 2023 when Bitcoin, trading under $30,000, seemed to follow the bullish signals from a rising NDX/SPX ratio. As the ratio reached new highs in July, Bitcoin also followed, hitting record levels.

Now that the NDX/SPX ratio has pulled back below its trendline, Bitcoin has mirrored this move, dropping back to $90,000. If this correlation continues, Bitcoin could remain below $90,000 for a while. However, if the NDX/SPX ratio turns upward again, it could signal a new Bitcoin rally, with some traders eyeing a breakout past $100,000.

Bitcoin’s Next Move

Traders are closely watching Bitcoin’s options and futures markets, which suggest it might stay near $90,000 until a decisive shift in the NDX/SPX ratio. If this ratio rebounds, indicating greater investor risk appetite, Bitcoin could rise even higher. This highlights Bitcoin’s growing connection to traditional financial markets and investor sentiment.

Is Bitcoin Heading for a Bull Trap?

Despite the potential for a pullback, well-known investors like Robert Kiyosaki and WealthSquad’s Chris remain positive about Bitcoin’s future. Kiyosaki, for example, plans to buy more if Bitcoin nears $100,000. However, some experts caution traders to watch for early signs of a reversal. While current sentiment is positive, Bitcoin’s future is still uncertain. It could either continue its upward trend or face a pullback, depending on how the market plays out.

The tech ratio, however, has climbed down inside the expanding channel. Perhaps BTC will do the same? We’ll have to wait and watch.
