The price of BTC (candle bars), GOOGL (blue line) and NVDA (orange line) are compared at one-hour intervals from Apr 22 to Apr 29 in the graph below. The right-hand scale presents the percentage increase/decrease of the three assets during this period.

The price of BTC began the measuring period with a gradual increase, which intensified on Apr 23.

Summary

As evidenced by the charts above, we can come to the conclusion that the price of GOOGL has enjoyed the biggest increase, followed by the price of BTC. The price of NVDA has decreased significantly.

Furthermore, we can see that the prices of BTC and GOOGL have followed similar ascending patterns. However, the price of BTC has experienced significant volatility, while GOOGL has not.

The price of NDVA was trading inside an ascending pattern, but broke down and is currently falling freely.

Based on this week’s analysis, we cannot make a predictive assumption about a correlation between the AI industry and Bitcoin. However, the price of GOOGL and Bitcoin appear to be increasing at similar rates.
