Gold and silver have recently reached new historical highs, while Bitcoin has decreased by nearly 30% from its all-time high in October and is trading around $87,000. However, some analysts, including Michael van de Poppe, believe that the rise in gold prices could ultimately benefit Bitcoin as well. At the same time, the Fear and Greed Index shows that market sentiment towards gold is in a state of greed, while sentiment towards cryptocurrency is in a state of extreme fear. Despite this difference, some industry players expect the downward trend of Bitcoin to reverse in 2026, and this asset to enter a new phase of growth.
