The stock market is in decline while Bitcoin rises to $88,000 and gold reaches a record high of $3,415. Analysts suggest a possible decoupling between Bitcoin and traditional markets, forecasting that Bitcoin could catch up with gold following a period of institutional deleveraging. Historical patterns indicate Bitcoin may experience greater price volatility after gold rallies, as institutional investment strategies evolve.
As the stock market continues to decline, Bitcoin (BTC) has surged to the $88,000 mark, showing a 5% increase over the last week. This price recovery has sparked discussions among analysts about Bitcoin’s potential decoupling from traditional financial markets. Meanwhile, gold has also reached a record high of $3,415, while BTC remains nearly 20% below its previous peak.
Data from crypto aggregator Coinglass reveals that over $232 million in trading positions were liquidated within a 24-hour period, predominantly involving traders shorting BTC. Prominent figures, including Tom Lee, chief investment officer at Fundstrat, predict that Bitcoin is poised to recover and align with gold, as the selling pressure from institutional investor deleveraging subsides.
Anthony Pompliano, co-founder of Pomp Investments, notes that historically, gold price increases often precede substantial rallies in Bitcoin by several months. He suggests that the lower initial engagement of institutional investors with Bitcoin during times of uncertainty could explain this pattern. He further indicates that once gold rallies, Bitcoin tends to follow with higher volatility and more considerable price gains.
