Bitcoin price is once again drawing attention as gold surges to new all-time highs. According to recent charts shared by trader Merlijn, the “Bitcoin vs Gold” cycle appears to be repeating — every time gold completes a strong rally, it begins to dominate the market.
Historical data support this pattern: in 2017, Bitcoin skyrocketed 30 times after Precious metal peaked, and in 2020, it surged sixfold during a similar scenario. Now, with Precious metal reaching record levels in 2025, many analysts are anticipating what could become a BTC “supercycle.”

This rotation is presented visually by an outline on the analyst chart. Whenever the momentum of Precious metal halts, capital inflow of investors is directed to BTC, triggering rampant bull runs.
The idea represents the idea of a larger investment theory: money does not evaporate; it is just that it is moved into another kind of asset. it may be gearing up for the next big institutional inflow if Precious metal continues its current rally and reaches maturity.
At present, it is trading around $114,342, posting a 2% weekly gain despite recent market turbulence. The asset staged an impressive recovery from last Friday’s sharp sell-off, which dragged prices down from $122,000 to $102,000.
This upward move has been particularly natural, driven by long-term investors and not leveraged investors. This kind of conduct underlines an increase in market maturity and investor belief.
Technically, BTC is resisting around $115,000. A decisive action this high would cause a drive to $117,000 and perhaps 120,000 within the immediate future. However, analysts caution that a sustained break below $112,500 could expose the $110,000 level, weakening the bullish momentum temporarily.
Bitcoin has been influenced by institutional involvement, which has made it resilient. Trading volume increased by 35% during the last 24 hours and was equal to $95.6 billion. This spurt means that professional investors are now interested in being exposed to digital assets as part of a diversified strategy.
The capitalization of the broader crypto markets also increased by 3.9%, though BTC performed slightly bad because of slight pressure of selling in the resistance.

The relaxation of all the global macroeconomic risks, as well as having a stable liquidity environment, has provided a good environment to accumulate. According to analysts, the fact that Bitcoin continues to be above the value of 100,000 even after a significant liquidation exercise is an indicator of resilient underlying strength.
A significant number of traders who are now bearish are likely to buy back at a higher price when the movement shifts again towards the $180,000 target that bullish analysts had predicted.
Meanwhile, gold’s rally continues to impress. Internationally, bullion prices have soared past $4,100 per ounce, while on India’s MCX exchange, gold hit ₹1,23,313 per 10 grams, an all-time high.
The most notable one is the rate at which this increase has been taking place: the last time Precious metal added 1,000 was only 207 days. To put this in perspective, the metal had taken almost 15 years to go up to $2,000 and an additional 14 months to be at the $3,000.
This acceleration is an indication of high demand of safe-haven assets, with uncertainty in the world still existing. Such parabolic dynamics of Precious metal have historically preceded big Bitcoin rallies.
