At BeInCrypto, we complete regular price analyses and predictions of the most popular and relevant cryptoassets. Today, we are beginning a weekly series in which we compare the price of Bitcoin (BTC) against the share price of two of the largest companies specializing in Artificial Intelligence: NVIDIA (NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL).

Comparing April 22-29 Performances
SponsoredThe 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.
On Apr 24, the price reached a high of almost 7% increase from the beginning of the measuring period. However, a sharp decrease took it to lows of -5%, before the price rebounded to an overall increase of 1.49% for the week.
The price of GOOGL has been gradually increasing since the beginning of the measuring period. It did not experience significant fluctuations and finished the period with an increase of 2.8%.

Summary
Sponsored SponsoredAs 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.
We will return to this analysis next week in order to see if the assumption still holds true.
