Abstract generation in progress

Bitcoin and gold’s relative performance once again become the market focus. According to PANews reports, several heavyweight industry analysts have offered unusual perspectives on this phenomenon.

Glassnode chief analyst James Check pointed out on social media that Bitcoin can rise independently without relying on corrections in gold or silver to support its upward trend. This judgment breaks many people’s existing understanding of macro asset correlations.

Economist Lyn Alden’s analysis further supports this view. In her latest discussion on a YouTube podcast, she mentioned that Bitcoin’s appreciation against gold is quite rapid. The logic behind this is very interesting—over the past 12 months, Bitcoin has been relatively dormant, while gold has experienced a brilliant performance during a super cycle. Against this backdrop, the ratio of Bitcoin to gold remains strong, enough to demonstrate how strong Bitcoin’s independent upward momentum is.

This means that Bitcoin is no longer entirely following traditional asset cycles but is showing a more independent market logic.
