Gold crashed 9% in one day. $BTC didn't flinch. What does that tell you?
Both spiked on the same fear—Iran tensions, dollar weakness, inflation. But when profit-taking hit, only one collapsed.
#Gold moved on institutional panic buying. When it got overextended, the same institutions sold. Classic boom-bust in a liquid, mature market.
Bitcoin held because its buyers aren't trading the same timeframe. Retail and long-term holders don't panic-sell on single-day moves. The 82% correlation with Nasdaq matters more than the geopolitical narrative.
Here's the real difference: Gold is crisis insurance you sell when the crisis fades. Bitcoin is a bet against the system that caused the crisis.
Gold responds to fear. Bitcoin responds to liquidity and loss of faith in central banking.
Right now, gold is consolidating after a parabolic run. Bitcoin is grinding, waiting for the Fed to signal what comes next. If energy shocks drive sustained inflation, both win—but for different reasons.
When the next wave of uncertainty hits, which one are you holding—and does your answer depend on whether it's a 3-day crisis or a 3-year crisis?
