Gold vs Bitcoin:
A Historical Dance of Money Flows
Over the past decade, Gold and Bitcoin have often moved in opposite cycles, almost like one fuels the other. Let’s look at the major turning points:
2012
Gold topped and began selling off.
Right after, Bitcoin entered its parabolic phase, lasting 59 weeks.
When Bitcoin eventually topped, Gold had already bottomed.
2016 – 2017
Again, Gold topped and started to fade.
Bitcoin then began another parabolic run, this time stretching 70 weeks.
During the second half of Bitcoin’s rally, Gold staged a recovery rally. Both assets eventually topped and sold off together.
2020 – 2021
Gold topped in mid-2020, just as Bitcoin began its next explosive rally.
For much of this cycle, Gold and Bitcoin traded opposite each other, with flows rotating between the two.
Today’s Setup (2025)
Gold is having its largest rally since 2010–2011, pushing to new highs.
Bitcoin, by contrast, has seen measured, non-parabolic moves so far.
The Big Question
Will history repeat?
