Five years of data show oil and Bitcoin barely correlate

Original: 🛢️ Cinco años de datos: el petróleo y # Bitcoin no se mueven juntos. Entre el 25/02 y el 18/03 de 2026 el # Brent subió

An analysis of five years of market data finds oil and Bitcoin do not move together. Between 25 February and 18 March 2026, Brent crude rose 67% while Bitcoin gained only 5%. The only meaningful correlation, a beta of 0.34, occurred between 2020 and 2022 and is attributed to liquidity conditions rather than causation.

Why now: Oil prices are surging while Bitcoin lags, challenging claims that crypto trades like a risk asset tied to commodities.
