According to the writer of Cryptoquant Joao Wedson, a set of signs below the ratio of BTC / Gold is burning, and that could mark an opportunity to change the way the two assets move against each other.
Strange signals point to Bitcoin
The Wedson chart shows two tags – blue and green – corresponding to the general oscillator which is relatively low. According to him, the blue tag marks the bottom of the BTC / Gold Ratio while the Green Tage appears when both indicators reach the bottom.
When that happened before, it used to come in times of fiery bitcoin drops and huge exchanges in the stock market. According to Wedson, today is a “historic opportunity” and that investors should now “trade gold with bitcoin.”
An opportunity for history: BOLD gold in Bitcoin. 🟡⮕₿
Low signals in the BTC / Gold Ratio are very rare, and tend to appear during periods of high volatility and sharp BTC charts.
Yes, we are definitely here now.

Arthur Hayes, the CEO of BitMex, expressed the same opinion: “We are right now,” said there now, “that is, calling one of the most compelling setups in recent years. The message from both analysts is clear: Look closely at this time.
Bitcoin is seen in a deep place of value
Some market watchers find regular Bitcoin trading below its optimal range. This type of reading has in the past been included in accumulation phases, not market peaks.
Based on CoinMarketTetCap data, BTC was trading near $107,400 at press time and is up 0.45% in the last 24 hours. Today’s annual gains stand at 15%, and bitcoin has gained nearly 55% over the past year.
Those figures were shown to show that the currency has already moved significantly this year, but that other measures are still pointing to much cheaper levels.
Institutional shifts can continue
Wedson urged institutional players directly that buy gold to reconsider. The BTC/Gold ratio has long been used as a gauge of confidence between two stores of value.
When it hit bottom, other market cycles followed with bitcoin quickly gaining ground and, in some cases, moving to new heights within months. This is a historical example of his sign being tied to it.
Some of the language used by commentators was vague; The Oscillator was described as “clearly crying: time to sell gold and buy Bitcoin,” a phrase that emphasizes how strong the signal is for those calling it.

Retail Losses Hit Billions
While the ratio story points to the upside, the different disclosures show different risks for the average investor. Reports from 10x Research say that retail investors lost 17 thousand after entering Bitcoin currency firms that sold at premiums.
Those companies – including MicrossTrategy (Now Strategy) and MetaPlanet – issued shares and used money to buy Bitcoin, but equity premiums fell as Bitcoin’s Run accelerated.
The report added that investors were paid $20 billion in equity premiums, leaving many with losses while managers and executives benefited initially from the move.
