Gold has surged to $4,305 per ounce, approaching its all-time high, while Bitcoin has fallen to $86,000, marking a significant divergence in their 2025 performances. Gold's 62% rise this year is attributed to expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and increased ETF inflows, contrasting with Bitcoin's recent downturn. Analysts, including Ray Youssef and Michaël van de Poppe, suggest this gap may indicate a potential market rotation back into Bitcoin, as historical indicators like Bitcoin's RSI against gold signal a possible bottom. Despite Bitcoin's recent dip, long-term optimism persists among analysts, with some data hinting at a potential rebound. Bitcoin briefly surpassed silver in market capitalization but currently ranks eighth as of December 16. While caution is advised, the cryptocurrency's historical resilience offers hope for future recovery.
