Bitcoin and gold don’t usually move up at the same time, but they’re often linked. When uncertainty rises, money tends to flow into gold first as a safer place to park capital, while Bitcoin usually stays relatively quiet during this early phase.
As gold’s rally starts to slow and market confidence improves, attention often shifts toward Bitcoin. At that point, investors look for more upside, and BTC has historically responded with stronger moves. This pattern suggests Bitcoin often reacts later, once risk appetite begins to return.
It’s not a perfect rule, but across multiple market cycles, strong gold performance has frequently appeared before renewed momentum in Bitcoin.
