Analysts: Bitcoin doesn't need to wait for a pullback in gold and silver; it can continue its upward trend.

[Analysts: Bitcoin Doesn't Need to Wait for Gold and Silver Corrections to Continue its Upward Trend] According to a report by Cointelegraph on December 28th, analysts say Bitcoin doesn't need to wait for gold and silver to correct before continuing its upward trend. James Check, chief analyst at Glassnode, called this a "surprisingly unpopular view," adding that those who believe Bitcoin must wait for precious metals to correct "don't really understand these assets." Macroeconomist Lyn Alden expressed a similar view. She stated that while "many people describe it as a competitive relationship," she "doesn't agree with that view." Alden said the recent strong performance of Bitcoin relative to gold is because Bitcoin has been in a "stagnant phase" over the past year, while gold has had an "extremely strong year." Both assets have their own long-term structural logic supporting them. Several Bitcoin industry executives predict that the current downward trend is likely to reverse in 2026. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, said, "Bitcoin will rise next year." Jan3 founder Samson Mow said that Bitcoin may be about to embark on a "decade-long bull market".
