According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin's upward momentum does not rely on pullbacks in gold and silver, as per analysts' insights. Glassnode lead analyst James Check expressed this view in an X post, suggesting that Bitcoin enthusiasts who believe otherwise may not fully understand the dynamics of these assets. Macro economist Lyn Alden echoed similar sentiments in a podcast, stating that while many perceive Bitcoin and gold as competitors, she does not share this perspective. The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio stands at 19.29, highlighting Bitcoin's recent performance compared to gold, which has had a remarkable year. Alden noted that Bitcoin spent the past year in a stagnant phase, while gold experienced significant growth. Both assets have long-term structural narratives supporting their value, according to Alden. On Friday, gold and silver reached all-time highs, with silver surpassing $77 and gold hitting $4,533, as reported by Trading Economics. Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, told CNBC that expectations for further Federal Reserve easing in 2026, a weak dollar, and geopolitical tensions are contributing to market volatility. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has seen a decline of nearly 30% since its peak of $125,100 on October 5, currently trading at $87,650, according to CoinMarketCap. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin has decreased by 3.79%. Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, suggested in an X post that as gold prices rise, Bitcoin is likely to follow suit. Despite the close movement of gold and Bitcoin prices between November 2022 and November 2024, the correlation has weakened this year, with gold up about 60% and Bitcoin down 7.2%. Market sentiment differs significantly between the two assets, with the Gold Fear & Greed Index showing a "Greed" score of 79, while the Crypto Fear & Greed Index indicates "Extreme Fear" at 24. Several industry executives anticipate a reversal in Bitcoin's downtrend by 2026. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan predicted that Bitcoin will experience an upward trend next year. Additionally, Jan3 founder Samson Mow speculated that Bitcoin might be on the verge of a decade-long bull run.

According to Odaily, Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, suggests that Bitcoin treasury companies should set strict allocation limits in the current market environment. It is generally recommended that corporate treasury asset allocations be controlled between 1% and 5%, with dollar-cost averaging (DCA) as a potential entry strategy. If the investment scale exceeds 2% of liquid assets, it is advisable to wait for Bitcoin ETF fund inflows to turn positive before proceeding. In the context of strengthening gold and silver and a pullback in crypto assets, Bitcoin's drop to $87,000 could either signal a deeper bear market or be a temporary adjustment before a long-term rise. There is still significant market disagreement on this matter. Bitcoin often reacts more strongly to a loose monetary environment than to inflation data itself. Future attention should focus on the Federal Reserve's potential shift from high interest rates to rate cuts.

Unstoppable Domains 首席运营官 Sandy Carter 撰文分析称，在当前市场环境下，比特币财库型公司应严格设定配置上限，通常建议企业财库资产配比控制在 1%–5%，入场方式可采用美元成本平均法（DCA）；若投资规模超过流动资金的 2%，则应等待比特币 ETF 资金流入转正后再布局。此外，在黄金、白银走强而加密资产回调的背景下，比特币跌至 8.7 万美元既可能预示更深层次的熊市，也可能只是长期上涨前的阶段性调整，市场判断仍存在明显分歧，比特币对货币环境宽松的反应往往强于对通胀数据本身，后续可重点关注美联储由高利率转向降息的政策拐点。（福布斯）
