Gold leads to the way, BTC follows; History suggests a familiar pattern

Gold has advanced to a new all-time high, which is over $ 3,025 per ounce to mark an increase of more than 15% since the turn of the year. Meanwhile, Bitcoin was caught (BTC), down 10% year-to-date.
Many factors contribute to the gold rally, including significant flows in Golden ETFs and its traditional role as a safe property during geopolitical uncertainty.
In addition, discussions of new US tariffs under President Trump further fuel demand for Equal US. The historic gold rally has driven its price up to 40% year-on-year, which is far from the increase of the 16% benefit of Bitcoin.
Historically, when gold enters a bull market, Bitcoin often runs or refuses. The two possessions rarely move to the tandem, even with occasional periods when both rise or fall at the same time.
Between 2019 and Q3 2020, gold experienced a strong rally while Bitcoin remained mainly, in conjunction with the Covid-19 pandemya. In contrast, Bitcoin saw its bull running in 2021 as the gold was throbbing. By 2022, as global interest rates began to rise, both possessions were faced with pressure before re -rebounding in 2023 and 2024. Today, in 2025, the market witnessed a modified difference between the two.
Founder of bytetree Charlie Morris This gold rally is described as a “valid gold rush” – where the market has not been seen since 2011.
“The gold above $ 3,000, silver above $ 24, and the gold stocks that get momentum – it hurts me that most of the crypto has never witnessed a real gold rush. The last time this happened was in 2011, when Bitcoin was just emerging at $ 20. They would be today.”
