<![CDATA[This study explores the intermarket dynamics between the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index (JSX) and Bitcoin (BTC), focusing on their behavior during periods of market stress, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Using historical data from 2017 to 2024, the research employs volatility analysis, Vector Autoregression (VAR) models, and correlation analysis to investigate the volatility spillovers and interdependencies between these two distinct markets. The findings reveal that BTC exhibits significantly higher volatility compared to JSX and USD/IDR, underscoring its high-risk nature.

The results have important implications for investors, highlighting the need for careful risk management and portfolio diversification strategies, especially in emerging markets like Indonesia.]]>
