Bitcoin to Eclipse Gold?! 🤯

by

Apparently, someone-a crypto analyst, naturally-believes Bitcoin (BTC) is about to have a rather dramatic showdown with gold. One can only assume tiny hats and duelling pistols will be involved. Possibly lasers. It’s always lasers these days.

This particular analyst, one MichaĂŤl van de Poppe (a name that sounds suspiciously like it was generated by a random Dutch name generator), has informed his 816,800 followers on X – formerly known as Twitter, which was formerly known as a perfectly good bird website – that the BTCUSD/gold ratio is exhibiting…wait for it… “bullish divergence.” 📈

Which, as any self-respecting intergalactic financial guru knows, means things are about to go up. Or possibly down. It’s really terribly vague, isn’t it? It involves indicators, like the Relative Strength Index, which sounds like something you’d use to measure the strength of your tea. ☕️

“Massive bullish divergence on the daily timeframe for BTCUSD versus gold. Gold comes down, Bitcoin consolidates and this starts to look better. On top of that, given that this is a valid bullish divergence, it implies that Bitcoin is likely to outperform gold in the coming period.

Similar periods of such a bullish divergence:

  • (Mostly involving people regretting their life choices.)
  • (And possibly a significant increase in cat videos.)

The big rotation is on the horizon.”

Van de Poppe also suggests Monday’s slight wobble in gold’s price means investors will soon realize gold is terribly last century and start throwing their money at Bitcoin instead. Because, reasons. Complex, economic reasons. Probably involving quantum physics and the existential dread of the modern age. 🤷

“It’s been an interesting [Monday] on the markets, as gold has corrected substantially. Although the talk of the room won’t be about an extended correction, the fact that it dropped beneath the previous ATH (all-time high) isn’t great. It’s actually marking multiple bearish divergences on timeframes and it took out the sentiment on silver, platinum and palladium in a single daily candle.

This is probably the stage where a lot of people will believe that there’s another leg up on the horizon, while the same group will blame Bitcoin for not going up. That’s the stage where it rotates.”

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $87,975 (give or take a few digits – these things fluctuate, you know, like the tides of economic uncertainty). Which means you could buy approximately one Bitcoin for roughly 20 ounces of gold. Or, you could buy a nice teapot. The choice, as they say, is yours. 🤔
