Gold and Bitcoin are Rising Together, the US Dollar is Weakening! What Does it Mean for the Future of Bitcoin's Price?
In a striking alignment rarely seen in financial markets, both gold and Bitcoin (BTC) are rising together, signaling the proximity of safe-haven narratives amid increasing economic uncertainty and a weakening US dollar.
According to the analysis conducted by the Kobeissi Letter, gold reached an all-time high 55 times in the last 12 months and recently set a new record at $3,384 per ounce. Meanwhile, Bitcoin officially joined the rally, with its price exceeding $87,000, firmly positioning BTC alongside gold as a store of value in investor sentiment.
This parallel movement marks a rare moment in modern financial history where traditional and digital assets, considered a "safe haven", are climbing together. This increase occurred in an environment where speculation about the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates has risen, and geopolitical and economic uncertainties have escalated.
In the cryptocurrency space, gold-backed digital tokens are also seeing renewed interest. The PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT), each pegged to the value of one ounce of gold, have seen their daily trading volumes surpass $100 million multiple times in recent weeks. These tokenized assets offer investors the exposure of blockchain-based gold by combining the stability of the precious metal with the accessibility of the crypto markets.
Enmanuel Cardozo, a market analyst at Brickken, a tokenization platform, stated that while Bitcoin's momentum is strong, investors continue to be cautious. Cardozo said, "Although Bitcoin has shown resistance, I believe that past experiences, current economic uncertainty, and the selling pressure in the market have kept investors on the sidelines and they are waiting for clearer entry signals."
Cardozo also noted that the recent institutional participation, including organizations like Strategy and Tether, could play a significant role in the price trajectory of Bitcoin, particularly as the market responds to the traditional four-year halving cycle. Cardozo added, "A rate cut by the FED in May or June could inject more money into the system, allowing Bitcoin to rise more quickly."
