Bitcoin Outperforms Gold in 2025 Gains
Bitcoin has set new records in 2025, reaching an all-time high above $122,000 with a 29% gain. This milestone highlights its growing dominance over traditional assets like gold, which posted a 27% increase during the same period.
Historic Performance by Bitcoin and Gold
For the first time, Bitcoin and gold lead as the top-performing major assets in 2025. Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, notes this rare occurrence where both assets simultaneously hold the top spots.
Bitcoin’s Surge Against Gold
Bitcoin has hit a 23-week high against gold, last seen in January. Rising geopolitical and economic uncertainties have boosted demand for these ‘unproductive assets,’ which rely solely on price appreciation.
Institutional Interest Drives Growth
Institutional confidence in Bitcoin is evident, with over $2 billion flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs last week. This reflects broader acceptance among major financial players.
Technical Outlook Suggests Further Upside
Analysts see potential for Bitcoin to reach $125,000, supported by an ascending channel pattern on hourly charts. Key support near $120,000 may attract buyers during pullbacks.
Market Watch: Upcoming CPI Data
With US inflation data pending, analysts like AlphaBTC anticipate possible volatility that could propel Bitcoin toward new targets, reinforcing its bullish trend.
