Bitcoin Follows Gold's Surge: A Pattern Emerges

Bitcoin and Gold, two of the most talked-about assets in the world, have recently revealed the same market action in their price movements.

The chart below clearly illustrates this pattern. Whenever Gold starts recording a significant price increase, BTC appears to have been reflecting it in the near future.

The graph shows the movements of both assets within multiple years, and each significant increase in its pruce is marked. After lagging a few moments, the price trends track suitably in the same direction.

Gold Hits Record Highs, Surpassing $3,700 Mark

The price soared to a new all time high going above the $3, 700 mark, a breakout that will symbolize a major breakout of the precious metal. 

The current price movement resembles the one observed in 2011, and the commodity is currently moving into a more momentum-driven and structured stage. Analysts indicate that future target would be in the range of $4,000 per ounce and even higher gains may be experienced.

This rally would be in a positive geopolitical environment with investors rushing into the safe-haven of assets. The increasing demand is also aided by inflation concerns, as well as the threat to currencies, which has made many hedge using tangible assets. 

The present rush indicates strong central bank purchases, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and the individual investor purchases, which are pushing the price even further.

Bitcoin is also on the rise. Bitcoin-based ETFs being enabled to be listed on large trading platforms such as NASDAQ and the NYSE by the SEC has been historic. This step brings Bitcoin further into the mainstream finance and preconditions the inflow of such capital as Wall Street.

Whats Next For Bitcoin Price?

 As this progresses, it is soon possible that BTC is on the same journey as gold to become more acceptable and have more value. Both gold and Bitcoin are becoming the focus of investment by investors as they seek to diversify their investments. 

The BTC price currently stands at $115,659; it has increased by 2% in the last 24-hours. In case BTC has a bullish trend, the level of $118K would be a considerable price growth compared to its current price.

Besides the record performance of gold, the S&P 500 ended at a record high of 6,600 as a sign of confidence among the investors. Technology, energy, and financial industries have been behind this growth, which means that the markets are able to absorb the macroeconomic uncertainties that are still going on. 

The general mood contributes to higher upward movements in both gold and any other hard asset, and it is an indication of a continued boom in the precious metals market.
