Gold futures touched the $4,000 per ounce milestone for the first time early Tuesday, while spot prices hit an all-time high of $3,976, according to TradingView. This surge comes amid mounting geopolitical tensions, global inflation, and a weakening dollar, all driving investors toward traditional hedges.

Economist Peter Schiff noted the move as a “clear warning that current Fed policy is wrong,” urging the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates immediately.
Gold has soared over 50% since January 1, outpacing nearly every major asset, while Bitcoin gained 33.5% in the same period — a sign that both assets are benefiting from the same macroeconomic narrative, but gold has led the way.
Bitcoin Likely to Follow Gold’s Path
Despite gold’s outperformance, crypto analysts remain confident that Bitcoin will soon outshine the precious metal.
“Gold’s all-time high shows investors’ demand for scarce assets. From here, Bitcoin will be the better-performing asset,” said Henrik Andersson of Apollo Capital. Similarly, Justin d’Anethan from Arctic Digital explained that both assets are reacting to the same concerns — “unchecked US deficits, softening dollar credibility, and geopolitical hedging.”
He added:
“Gold is deeply rooted in traditional finance setups, but Bitcoin moves bigger — it’s available 24/7, scarcer, and more forward-looking.”
This alignment of gold and Bitcoin strengthens the case for Bitcoin as a digital safe-haven.
Correlation Between Gold and Bitcoin
Analysts have noted a strong correlation between the two assets. According to market analyst Ted Pillows, Bitcoin often lags gold’s performance by roughly eight weeks.
With gold now pushing to new highs, Pillows predicts that Bitcoin could see a major Q4 rally, possibly retesting its all-time high above $126,000 set earlier this year.
Analyst James Bull echoed the sentiment, saying Bitcoin “is lagging gold and the global M2 money supply, and should adjust soon.”
Bitcoin’s Seven-Figure Potential
Even more bullish voices are emerging. David Marcus, co-founder of Litespark and former PayPal executive, stated:
“If Bitcoin were valued like gold, it would be worth $1.3 million per coin. It’s already a better store of value — crossing into seven digits is only a matter of time.”
The near-$4,000 gold rally is not just a milestone for commodities — it’s a signal of investor distrust in fiat stability. As governments expand fiscal debt and central banks print more money, both gold and Bitcoin are becoming key refuges for capital preservation.
If history repeats itself, Bitcoin’s next leg up could mirror gold’s rise — only amplified by its digital scarcity and 24/7 market reach.
