In 2025, Bitcoin took a small dip, dropping by 6%, while gold shot up by 65%. This might seem like a win for gold, but some experts believe Bitcoin is set to make a strong comeback in 2026. They argue that gold has reached a price level not seen in over a century, except during the Great Depression. This suggests that gold might be overvalued right now.
Gold has seen a massive rise, going from $1, 600 to $4, 300 since October 2022. This surge is due to global wealth growing faster than the supply of gold. However, history shows that after gold hits such high levels, stocks tend to perform much better in the following years. This could mean that gold's best days are behind it, at least for now.
On the other hand, Bitcoin has some unique advantages. Unlike gold, you can't just mine more Bitcoin when prices go up. The supply of Bitcoin is fixed by code, making it a scarce resource. This scarcity could make Bitcoin more valuable in the long run, especially as demand increases.
Bitcoin also offers something that gold doesn't: diversification. Bitcoin doesn't move in sync with stocks, bonds, or gold. This means it can protect your portfolio when other assets are crashing. Experts believe this makes Bitcoin a great choice for those looking to balance their investments and aim for higher returns.
Currently, gold is slightly down after hitting a new high above $4, 660. It has support levels at $4, 470 and $4, 366, but breaking below $4, 300 could spell trouble. As for Bitcoin, it's stuck in a tight range between $88, 000 and $97, 000. It needs to break out of this pattern soon, as each attempt to rise higher has been rejected.
