Bitcoin and Gold continue to compete as top store-of-value assets. Analysts expect BTC to target $120K–170K in 2026, with long-term bullish forecasts reaching $300K+. However, downside risks remain, with some analysts warning of possible dips toward $45K–65K if market sentiment weakens.
Gold stays strong as a safer hedge. Major banks project a 5–20% rise in 2026, with some forecasting $4,500–$5,000/oz supported by inflation, central-bank demand, and global uncertainty.
Summary:
BTC = higher reward, higher volatility
Gold = steady, reliable hedge
Best approach: diversify to balance growth potential with stability.
