The relative strength of Bitcoin and gold is rewriting market expectations. According to industry analysts, gold has performed well over the past year, while Bitcoin has been relatively subdued, but this does not mean that crypto assets must follow the rhythm of precious metals.

Glassnode Chief Analyst James Check shared an interesting perspective on social platforms: Bitcoin does not need to wait for gold and silver to experience a pullback to realize its own upward momentum. This argument breaks the traditional asset correlation assumptions.

Macro economist Lyn Alden emphasized a similar view in a recent podcast. She pointed out that the Bitcoin-to-Gold ratio has recently performed well, mainly due to the divergence in the trends of the two assets — gold experienced a glorious period over the past year, while Bitcoin is in a buildup phase.

This shift in relative performance suggests that the crypto market may be forming an upward cycle independent of traditional safe-haven assets. For investors, this means that Bitcoin’s subsequent performance may no longer be constrained by gold’s pullback.
