LINK Correlation with Bitcoin and Top Coins

LINK correlation with Bitcoin and other coins

How closely LINK has moved with each coin on the correlation matrix: the Pearson correlation of daily log returns over the last 30 and 90 days, its beta to Bitcoin and its realised volatility. Computed from Binance USDT perpetual daily candles.

Over the last 30 days LINK moved most like ADA (0.84) and least like XAUT (0.38); its average correlation with the other 19 matrix coins is 0.69. Its 30-day beta to Bitcoin is 1.27, so a 1% BTC day has moved it about 1.3% on average (correlation 0.71). Its 30-day correlation with Bitcoin (0.71) is about the same as the 90-day (0.75). LINK's 30-day realised volatility is 77% annualised (82% over 7 days), rank 81 of 99 on the volatility screener.

How to read it. Each value is the Pearson correlation of daily log returns over the last 30 or 90 completed UTC days: 1.00 means the two coins moved in lockstep, 0 unrelated, negative in opposite directions. Beta is how much the coin has moved per 1% Bitcoin move. See every pair on the correlation matrix and volatility for 100 perps on the volatility screener.

Coins are the 20 with the most perpetual open interest that list a Binance USDT perp. Daily candles come from Binance's public futures API and refresh a few times a day. Not financial advice.

LINK correlation FAQ

How is {}'s correlation calculated?

From Binance USDT perpetual daily candles (UTC days) we take LINK's daily log return, ln(close / previous close), and compute the Pearson correlation with every other coin on the correlation matrix over the days both have, in the last 30 or 90 completed days. +1 means they moved in lockstep, 0 unrelated, -1 opposite.

What does beta to Bitcoin mean?

Beta is how much LINK has moved per 1% move in Bitcoin: the covariance of its daily returns with BTC's divided by the variance of BTC's. A beta above 1 with a high correlation is an amplified Bitcoin trade; a low correlation means Bitcoin explains little of its moves.

Why is a window or the volatility missing?

A coin needs daily returns on at least 80% of a window's days, so a recent listing has no 90-day correlations yet. The 7- and 30-day realised volatility comes from the volatility screener, which covers the 100 most-traded perps. Nothing here is financial advice.
