Analysts say Bitcoin can rise without waiting for a gold and silver pullback

On Friday and Saturday, several analysts argued that Bitcoin does not need a correction in gold or silver prices before resuming its rise, despite gold and silver reaching record highs. Lyn Alden attributed the recent strength of the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio to Bitcoin's prior year of stagnation versus a strong year for gold, while market data shows gold up about 60% this year and Bitcoin down 7.2%. Some industry executives expect Bitcoin's current downtrend, including a near 30% drop since its October all-time high, to reverse in 2026.
