Five years of data show oil and Bitcoin move apart

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

A five-year analysis shared online argues that 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 real correlation found (β=0.34) was in 2020-2022, attributed to liquidity conditions rather than any causal link between the two assets.

Why now: Traders are debating whether Bitcoin can be treated as a hedge or proxy for commodities like oil.
