Big Rotation Into Bitcoin Incoming As BTC-Gold Ratio Flashes Bullish Reversal Signal: Michaël van de Poppe

Bitcoin Poised to Outperform Gold, According to Crypto Analyst

One of the most respected crypto analysts in the industry, Michaël van de Poppe, has expressed his belief that Bitcoin (BTC) is on the brink of breaking out against gold. In a recent tweet to his 816,800 followers on X, van de Poppe pointed out that the BTCUSD/gold ratio is displaying bullish divergence on the daily chart.

For those unfamiliar with the term, bullish divergence occurs when an asset’s price records lower lows while indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), show higher lows. This typically indicates that the price is likely to increase in the near future.

Van de Poppe shared his insights, saying, “Massive bullish divergence on the daily timeframe for BTCUSD versus gold. Gold comes down, Bitcoin consolidates and this starts to look better. On top of that, given that this is a valid bullish divergence, it implies that Bitcoin is likely to outperform gold in the coming period.”

He went on to highlight previous instances of similar bullish divergences, such as in Q3 2024 before Bitcoin surged towards the $100,000 mark and in Q4 2022, marking the end of a bear market for Bitcoin. Van de Poppe believes that a significant rotation in the market is on the horizon.

The analyst also pointed out that gold’s price dip on Monday could signal a shift in investor sentiment, with profits from gold potentially being rotated into Bitcoin. Van de Poppe stated, “It’s been an interesting [Monday] on the markets, as gold has corrected substantially. Although the talk of the room won’t be about an extended correction, the fact that it dropped beneath the previous all-time high isn’t great.”

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $87,975, with the BTCUSD/gold ratio hovering around 20 ounces of gold per one Bitcoin. Van de Poppe’s analysis suggests that Bitcoin may be primed to outperform gold in the near future, signaling a potential shift in the market dynamics.
