Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced significant growth over the last decade. What started as an experiment has evolved into a mainstream investment method. Therefore, BTC has come a long way to reach its current position.
BTC Taking Over GOLD?
At the time of writing, the BTC price is hovering around the $105,000 mark. The weekly high of the token was around $110,600. Both of these figures are quite attractive and demonstrate the token’s current performance.
Apart from a favorable price movement, the token is also leading in terms of institutional investment. Therefore, BTC is in a favorable spot to be an attractive investment option. This is evident in the market metrics, as an increasing number of people are choosing BTC over Gold.
The BTC-to-Gold ratio suggests that the token is on an upward trend, poised to move higher. Metrics indicate that the graph displays a cup-and-handle pattern. Historically, this pattern is often associated with a bullish run. The pattern was last observed during the COVID-19 peak.
It is safe to assume that BTC may eventually become a better option for hedging. Therefore, it changes the overall market dynamic to some extent. However, that does not mean that Gold would lose its market position as a favorable hedge.
