Gold Plunges, Bitcoin Holds Steady: What’s Next?
Cryptocurrency analyst Joao Wedson shared a noteworthy market assessment regarding the relationship between gold and Bitcoin. According to Wedson, the excessive optimism observed in the gold market at the beginning of the year was a classic “peak buying” signal, and this expectation was quickly realized.
Wedson noted that gold experienced a strong increase in volatility at the beginning of January as it approached its all-time high, followed by a correction. According to the analyst, although gold retested its all-time high, it failed to create new peaks and has recently started to record sharp declines again. This movement is said to be the beginning of a long consolidation process that could last for months.
The analyst argued that this scenario was an analysis based on data and market experience, rather than a prediction.
On the Bitcoin side, a different dynamic emerges. According to Wedson, Bitcoin generally reacts negatively during the final stages of gold’s decline. However, these declines occur much faster and more sharply compared to gold; sharp pullbacks can be seen within hours or days.

However, it is stated that the truly critical transformation will begin as the distribution process of gold nears its end. Wedson expects that at this stage, liquidity in the markets will gradually shift towards riskier assets, especially Bitcoin. However, he points out that this transition will not be sudden, but a process that could take months.
According to the analyst, this liquidity rotation is likely to become more pronounced towards the end of 2026. Wedson stated that they will continue to monitor whether this scenario materializes in the coming period.
