Bitcoin Outperforms Gold as U.S.-China Trade Tensions Ease

Bitcoin (BTC) has outperformed gold (XAU) over the past two weeks, with a bullish trend expected to continue. Key points include:

  • The bitcoin-to-gold ratio indicates BTC's price is rising relative to gold.
  • The ratio recently broke out of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, signaling a potential shift from bearish to bullish.
  • The current ratio stands at 32.00, with targets suggesting it could rise to at least 35.00.
  • Gold's price peaked above $3,500 on April 22 but has since dropped over 8% to $3,211, while BTC increased nearly 19% to $104,000.
  • Easing U.S.-China trade tensions may favor BTC as investor confidence grows.
  • Both nations agreed to lower tariffs on each other's goods, potentially enhancing risk-on sentiment in markets.
