While US President Donald Trump’s tariff statements and the ongoing tariff tension between China and the US brought gold to the forefront, Bitcoin lagged behind.
While gold has attracted great interest among investors with its safe haven narrative amid the ongoing economic uncertainty, gold continues to see strong inflows as Bitcoin lags behind amid risk-off sentiment.
At this point, while gold is rising to new record levels, Bitcoin is failing to make the expected explosion.
Bitcoin Follows Gold!
However, one analyst noted that the rise in gold is also a bullish signal for Bitcoin, saying that BTC tends to mirror gold’s highs over the past 150 days.
While new records in gold have led to speculation on whether Bitcoin is about to rally, analyst Joe Consorti said that Bitcoin typically follows gold’s price movements within 100 to 150 days of gold reaching new ATHs.
Consorti stated that when monetary expansion started, gold first reacted and rose, and then BTC followed the gold rise more strongly.
As an example, Consorti pointed to the years 2027 and 2021. In 2017, Bitcoin rose to $19,120 a few months after gold witnessed a 30% increase. Similarly, gold reached a new peak near $2,075 in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic before Bitcoin surged to $69,000 in 2021.
At this point, the analyst stated that Bitcoin has historically surpassed its previous ATHs during periods when gold rose, and that BTC follows the rise of gold with a 100-150 day delay each time.
“Bitcoin lags gold by about 100 to 150 days. When the uptrend starts, gold starts first, then Bitcoin follows more sharply.”
Based on this trend, BTC is expected to potentially reach its new ATH between the third and fourth quarter of 2025. However, only time will tell if history repeats itself once again for Bitcoin.
