Analyst Urges Traders To Swap Gold For Crypto"},"content":{"rendered":"

A well-known crypto analyst is urging investors to rethink the old trade of gold for Bitcoin<\/a>, calling current market signals a rare buying window.<\/p>\n

According to CryptoQuant author Joao Wedson, a set of bottom signals in the BTC\/Gold ratio are flashing, and that could mark a turning point in how the two assets move against each other.<\/p>\n

Rare Signals Point Toward Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

Wedson\u2019s chart shows two tags \u2014 one blue and one green \u2014 that line up with a normalized oscillator he says is at a low. According to him, the blue tag marks a bottom in the BTC\/Gold ratio while the green tag appears when both indicators reach lows together.<\/p>\n

When that has happened before, it often came at times of steep Bitcoin drops and big swings in market mood. According to Wedson, today is a \u201chistoric opportunity\u201d and that investors should now \u201ctrade gold for Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bottom signals in the BTC\/Gold ratio are extremely rare, and they tend to appear during high-volatility moments and sharp BTC drawdowns.
\nWell, we\u2019re exactly there right now.

Arthur Hayes, the former BitMEX CEO, has echoed a similar view:\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re exactly there right now,\u201d he said, calling the setup one of the most compelling in recent years. The message from both analysts is clear: look closely at this moment.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Seen At A Deep Value Zone<\/h2>\n

Other market watchers find Bitcoin trading two standard deviations below its ideal range. This type of reading has in the past lined up with accumulation phases, not market tops.<\/p>\n

Based on CoinMarketCap data, BTC was trading near $107,400<\/a> at press time and had risen 0.45% in the previous 24 hours. Year-to-date gains stood at 15%, and Bitcoin had gained nearly 55% over the last year.<\/p>\n

Those figures were cited to show that the currency has already moved a lot this year, but that some measures still point to cheaper-than-usual levels.<\/p>\n

Institutional Shifts May Be Underway<\/p>\n

Wedson specifically urged institutional players who have been buying up gold<\/a> to rethink allocations. The BTC\/Gold ratio has long been used as a gauge of confidence between the two stores of value.<\/p>\n

When it hits a bottom, some market cycles have followed with Bitcoin regaining ground quickly and, in some cases, moving toward fresh highs within months. This is the historical pattern his signal is tied to.<\/p>\n

Some of the language used by analysts was blunt; the oscillator was described as \u201cbasically screaming: time to sell gold and buy Bitcoin,\u201d a phrase that underlines how strong the signal appears to those calling it.<\/p>\n

Retail Losses Hit Billions<\/p>\n

While the ratio story points to upside, a separate disclosure shows a different risk for ordinary investors. Reports from 10X Research say retail buyers lost around $17 billion after piling into public Bitcoin treasury firms that traded at premiums.<\/p>\n

Those companies \u2014 including MicroStrategy (now Strategy<\/a>) and Metaplanet \u2014 issued shares and used the cash to buy Bitcoin, but the equity premiums collapsed as Bitcoin\u2019s run slowed.<\/p>\n

The report added that investors overpaid by about $20 billion in inflated equity premiums, leaving many with losses while insiders and executives benefited earlier in the move.<\/p>\n
