GOLD VS BITCOIN
Updated
Bitcoin is often referred to as digital gold as they are both stores of wealth, but how do the charts compare?
Firstly GOLD has been around for much much longer than BITCOIN so naturally the charts are not comparable in terms of duration and that should be taken into account. Golds PA plays out over a much longer timespan to BTCs but the chart patterns are certainly similar.
We have Golds previous rally peaking in 2011 before falling with a rounded bottom, the exact same as Bitcoins structure from the last bull cycle.
Gold then steadily climbs over the HTF stalling briefly at a bearish orderblock (blue box's) which is the same as BTC. Continues to climb to reach previous ATH before distributing/accumulating with sideways choppy price action.
So cleqarly Gold and Bitcoin share a lot of similarities, where they differ in their charts is what happens after ATH and into price discovery...
Gold continued its rally for a further 32% increase once it broke out above the trend channel/ mini range at the ATH level. Bitcoin is looking to do the same and if successful, price discovery should exceed the 32% increase the gold saw because of the difference in market caps of the two assets.
Gold market cap: 18.3T
Bitcoin market cap: 1.35T
Such a massive difference in market caps means less investment is needed to create the price increase and so I believe 32% is a super conservative estimate but we'll use it as an example for comparison. That would take BTC up to ~$92,000, a more than doable move IMO.

Note
BTC looking to breakout monthly close around the corner. If current price holds then it'll be an ATH for a monthly close which is great for momentum.
All eyes on the monthly close!
Note
The tide has shifted towards BTC from GOLD in this last week thanks to a Republican win and the expected de-escalation of various conflicts around the world, as well as a flip towards a more risk-on environment in the macro economic environment.
Things are looking up for crypto.
Trade closed: target reached
And just like that we have hit the BTC target!!
Amazing trade and much faster than expected, we're now looking to find a footing to launch the next rally from.
