The value of gold has surged to unprecedented levels, marking a historic milestone as it becomes the first asset ever to achieve a market capitalization of $30 trillion.
In contrast, Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold,” has experienced a decline, falling over 5% in the last day. Despite this downturn, experts predict that Bitcoin’s fortunes may soon change as gold approaches what could be its peak valuation.
Is Gold on the Verge of a Price Correction?
Recent statistics reveal that gold reached an all-time high of $4,380 per ounce today. This increase is driven by ongoing inflation and global economic uncertainties. The rise in price has attracted numerous retail investors globally, leading to reports of long lines at bullion dealers worldwide.

This surge has also led some analysts to warn about an impending market peak. Analyst Bishara noted that record-high physical gold purchases might indicate a “macro top” for the market.
“GOLD Yeah, this will top at any time. It’s clearly a blow-off top,” another analyst commented.
Michaël van de Poppe drew parallels between current trends and the late-1970s bull run in gold prices, which saw significant declines after peaking. He observed that we are currently experiencing an euphoria phase where excitement and fear of missing out (FOMO) push prices unsustainably high.
“Gold has now reached the euphoria Phase. It should make a local top within 2 weeks around 29th Oct FOMC,” predicted Ash Crypto.
Bitcoin Could Be Poised for Growth After Gold’s Surge Subsides
As speculation about reaching market highs intensifies, several experts believe Bitcoin could benefit once interest in gold wanes. Poppe suggested that capital flows might shift towards Bitcoin due to its perceived undervaluation compared with inflated gold prices.
Ash Crypto anticipates this setup could precede one of crypto’s biggest bull runs yet as trillions enter digital markets again; citing BTC’s correlation with precious metals like these being key indicators pointing toward future growth potential;
