📉 Bitcoin vs. Gold: Is the "Digital Gold" Narrative Under Threat?
.
The BTC-to-Gold ratio has plunged over 50% from its late-2024 peak, currently sitting near 17.6 – 18.5. For the first time in years, Bitcoin is trading significantly below its 200-week moving average relative to gold.
.
🔍 What the Data Says: 🔹 Relative Weakness: While Gold hits new record highs near $5,100, Bitcoin has been struggling to hold the $90,000 mark. 🔹 Safe-Haven Shift: Macro uncertainty and geopolitical tensions are currently driving capital into physical gold, leaving BTC in a "cooling phase." 🔹 Historical Context: Similar drops below the 200WMA occurred in 2018 and 2022, often marking deep value zones—but these phases can last months.
.
💡 The Strategy: Dip-Buy or Beware? Being "cheap" relative to gold doesn't guarantee an immediate bounce. However, for long-term believers, this is often the "Strategic Accumulation Zone."
.
✅ Smart Move: Instead of going all-in, consider layered entries (DCA). Keep a close eye on macro catalysts like Fed interest rate decisions and institutional ETF inflows.
