How AVAX behaves versus Bitcoin

AVAX has a beta of 1.32 against Bitcoin: amplifies Bitcoin's moves ~1.32× — up and down alike. In plain terms, on a day Bitcoin moves 1%, AVAX has moved about 1.32% on average in the same direction. Beta describes past co-movement over the available daily history; it is not a forecast.

What AVAX moves with

Over the last 90 days its daily moves tracked ADA (0.63) and ETH (0.56) most closely among the large coins we compare against. A correlation of 1.0 would mean they moved in lockstep; 0 would mean no relationship.

Where AVAX sits in its own history
