Correlation between digital assets has been one of the area of interest investors tends to pay much attention in terms of diversifying investments. It is not different from the correlation in statistics as this test for an analysis of relationship between two or more assets. This article will determine the correlation coefficient between HIVE and BNB.
The data collected for the analysis was gotten from coin gecko. It covers the period between Januarys to February of 2023.
The following are very essential as regards the subject of correlation.
Correlation coefficient
Coefficient of correlation determines the level of relationship between two or more assets in consideration which in our case is that of BNB and HIVE.
The coefficient of correlation is either indicating a positive, negative or zero correlation.
When the correlation is positive, it is however interpreted that an increase in the price of the higher crypto asset which is BNB in this study will lead to an increase in the price of HIVE.
When the correlation is said to be negative, it indicates that an increase in the price of BNB will lead to a decrease in the price of HIVE.
When there is a zero indication of correlation, there is said to be no relationship between both assets in the crypto market.
The coefficient of correlation for BNB and HIVE in January to February, 2023 is as shown below.
With a coefficient of 0.861 shows an indication of a strong positive correlation between both assets. In order words, it can be understood that as the price of BNB experiences an increase, there will also be an increase in the price of HIVE as well.
Comparing this result to the previous analysis, carried out between BNB and HIVE for the month of December 2022 – January 2023 shows a coefficient below of 0.974 at its highest peak of positive correlation.
But currently from January to February of 2023 shows a reduction in the coefficient of correlation by 0.113. However the interpretation remains the correlation is still strong and positive.
Other relevant aspect to consider are:
