📈 Gold outperforms Bitcoin at the beginning of 2026, but both are in a correction phase.
Gold has shown a clear outperformance this year, with gains exceeding 65%, while Bitcoin struggles to recover its losses of about 5%. Currently, both assets are undergoing a correction:
Bitcoin: within a volatility range between $80,000 and $94,000, with a potential drop to $74,000 if the lower boundary of the range is broken. Despite the correction, the long-term trend remains upward, and the declines may represent attractive entry opportunities.
Gold: after reaching record levels near $4,600 per ounce, it has retraced toward $4,300, but it retains strong upside potential, supported by expectations of interest rate cuts and geopolitical tensions. Gold could reach $5,000 per ounce in positive scenarios.
🔹 Comparison between Gold and Bitcoin
Gold currently appears more capable of sustaining an upward trend, while the deep correction in Bitcoin may open opportunities for relative gains later. In both markets, the Fed's accommodative stance will support buyers, with the market expecting at least two interest rate cuts over the next twelve months.
