Peter Brandt, a veteran trader, recently made comments on Bitcoin’s performance in relation to gold, pointing out that BTC, although it has risen recently, has not reached its 2021 highs. In the year 2021, Bitcoin surged to more than $64,000 in April and nearly $69,000 in November.
In March 2024, Bitcoin hit $73,750 because of bullish sentiments for the halving events and the launching of Bitcoin ETFs. Even with this kind of remarkable performance, it still hasn’t reached its former high-value standing compared to gold.
In terms of performance, Bitcoin has been on a bullish trend over the last couple of months and continues to outperform gold. Brandt’s BTC/gold chart depicted the history of Bitcoin’s performance relative to gold. However, he stated that for this particular bullish trend to prevail, Bitcoin must move past its levels recorded in the earlier part of the year, 2021.
Brandt’s observations underscore the ongoing volatility and speculative nature of Bitcoin. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is currently trading at $67,619.05 with a 1.38% price drop within the last 24 hours as per Coinmarketcap stats.
