Analyst flags BTC-gold bottom, targets $150k–$160k ATH by late 2026

Bitcoin–gold ratio is near record lows. Analyst Michael van de Poppe says these levels have marked past bottoms.

He tracks the rotation between Bitcoin and gold. Gold often rallies first. After gold peaks, Bitcoin has caught up and outperformed. He outlines the case in this video analysis.

The Sharpe ratio sits near 2015, 2018, and 2022 bear market floors. That’s his historical anchor for a potential bottom. Source: video analysis.

He expects new all-time highs before year-end. Long-range, he targets $150,000–$160,000 by late 2026. Source: video analysis.
