Will Bitcoin's performance mirror gold's historical surge, according to analysts? They predict a crucial examination in the future.
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency and traditional finance, analysts at QCP Capital are keeping a close watch on the gold-to-Bitcoin ratio as they shape their Q4 forecast for Bitcoin. This ratio, which compares the price of gold to that of Bitcoin, is being seen as a crucial indicator of market trends.
At the start of the day, 54% of users on Myriad, a prediction market, believed that Bitcoin would outperform gold this year. However, recent developments have seen a shift in sentiment. Since gold's new all-time high, the percentage of users predicting gold over Bitcoin has increased to 63%.
Gold, a long-standing safe haven asset, has hit an inflation-adjusted record high of $3,683.14 per ounce, surpassing a 45-year-old record set in 1980. This surge is significant, especially considering that when adjusted for inflation, the 1980 gold price of $850 would be equivalent to $3,539.58 as of August 2025.
The gold-to-Bitcoin ratio, currently at 0.032, is in a long-term ascending triangle pattern. This pattern suggests that gold is outperforming Bitcoin by over 33%. A potential breakout in the ratio is expected in late Q4 2025 or early 2026, reflecting gold's role as a safe haven amid economic concerns and Bitcoin's relative correction of about 25% since late 2024 peak levels.
QCP analysts are also monitoring the gold-to-S&P 500 ratio as a 'barometer of risk-off versus risk-on sentiment across traditional assets.' Meanwhile, they are keeping an eye on the BTC-to-ETH ratio to gauge rotation within digital assets.
Interestingly, institutional treasury flows are picking up, making the gold-to-Bitcoin ratio zone worth monitoring for potential shifts in market dynamics. After a hotter-than-expected consumer price index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, BTC is trading 0.7% higher than it was this time yesterday. Bitcoin's price, currently around $114,000 during New York trading hours on Thursday, is about 8% under a peak above $124,000 set last month.
In conclusion, the gold-to-Bitcoin ratio, along with other cross-asset ratios, provides important context for how risk is being priced across both traditional and digital markets. As these ratios continue to evolve, it will be interesting to see how the dynamics of these two markets unfold in the coming months.
