Bitcoin and the Dollar Index: A New Price Indicator?
A Surprising Correlation Since 2015
Since early 2015, Bitcoin has shown a growing correlation with two key U.S. economic indicators: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Dollar Index (DXY). This link suggests that Bitcoin is increasingly influenced by inflation and dollar strength—two forces at the heart of global macroeconomics.

The Formula: CPI / DXY × 100
Analysts observed that Bitcoin's price closely mirrors the trend of this formula:
> Bitcoin ≈ (CPI / DXY) × 100
The logic is simple: when inflation rises (CPI up) or the dollar weakens (DXY down), the formula increases—often alongside Bitcoin's price. This points to Bitcoin acting as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
