Bitcoin Hits $100K: What Does It Mean for Gold?
Bitcoin’s historic surge past 100K has reignited debates about its role in the financial world. Fed Chair Jerome Powell weighed in, calling Bitcoin a "speculative asset," likening it to virtual gold rather than a competitor to the dollar:
"It's highly volatile, not a store of value or form of payment. It's really a competitor for gold."
With Bitcoin soaring, many are asking: Could this mark the beginning of a stronger correlation between Bitcoin and gold, or are they destined to move on separate paths?
Gold Faces Its Own Test
While Bitcoin grabs the headlines, gold prices slipped below $2,630 per ounce, pressured by firming U.S. Treasury yields. Benchmark 10-year yields rose 0.6%, as markets anticipate today’s U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, expected to show 200,000 new jobs. A weaker report could lift gold, especially as traders assign a 74% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in December.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has emphasized caution, acknowledged the economy’s resilience but signaling a careful approach to rate cuts. Gold, often a winner in low-rate environments, now finds itself at a critical juncture.
Our Trading Plan for Gold
Key levels to watch as we await the NFP report:
$2,630: Monitor for price reactions to this recent support.
$2,537–$2,530: Look for potential opportunities at this deeper support range.
The Bigger Picture
As Bitcoin claims new highs and challenges gold’s status as a store of value, gold continues to be swayed by macroeconomic forces. Will gold bounce back, or is it preparing for further dips as Bitcoin surges?
Let us know your thoughts—will Bitcoin and gold align as Powell suggests, or will their paths diverge further?
For more in-depth gold analysis and updates, stay tuned. And as always, happy trading!
