Pray, allow me to impart a most diverting tale from the realm of finance, as observed by the astute Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments. It appears that the fickle winds of fortune have once again shifted, blowing the exchange-traded product (ETP) flows back into the arms of Bitcoin, that most enigmatic of digital suitors. Those who spurned it in the latter days of 2025 are now returning with all the haste of a debutante chasing the latest fashion.
Recall, if you will, the heady days of October, when Bitcoin ascended to such giddy heights that even the most stoic of investors were tempted to abandon their carriages for a ride on the “gold bandwagon.” Yet, as is oft the case with such fleeting passions, the allure of gold has dimmed, while Bitcoin, like a steadfast gentleman, has regained its footing. “Gold has lost its mojo,” Timmer remarked with a wry smile, “while Bitcoin, ever the resilient one, is once again the toast of the town.”

“A Mild Winter”
In October, Bitcoin reached such dizzying heights as $124,000, only to endure a sharp drawdown, settling near the $60,000 mark. Timmer, ever the optimist, dubs this minor setback a “mild winter,” as though Bitcoin were merely taking a refreshing stroll through the countryside. “It is consolidating,” he assured, “and preparing for its next grand entrance.” Indeed, the asset now holds steady in the $65-$70k range, forming a base as solid as a country estate.
“The current level,” Timmer added with a nod to technicalities, “is supported by previous highs, the Bitcoin/gold ratio, and its deviation from the power law curve. A most reassuring prospect, is it not?”
Gold’s Surprising Weakness
And what of gold, that once-unassailable bastion of value? After a year of triumph, it has stumbled most unexpectedly. One would think that in times of global uncertainty, precious metals would shine brighter than a ballroom chandelier. Yet, gold has failed to capitalize on international tensions, leaving even the most ardent supporters scratching their heads.
“Gold has been surprisingly weak,” Timmer observed, his tone tinged with amusement. “It has not behaved as one might expect during a geopolitical shock. The fast money crowd, who once flocked to it with all the fervor of society matrons at a tea party, have reversed their sentiment. Moreover, certain nations, pressed by circumstances, have been forced to liquidate their reserves. A most unfortunate turn of events, indeed.”
Yet, Timmer remains steadfast in his long-term affection for the precious metal. “For me,” he declared, “gold is worth accumulating at current levels, for its secular trend remains higher. A wise investment, I daresay, for those with the patience to wait.”
