A key long-term indicator comparing Bitcoin to gold has just triggered a 
signal not seen before in market history. Analysts say such extreme 
compression typically precedes violent directional moves, and the fact that 
it’s happening at the intersection of two global safe-haven assets makes the 
setup even more significant. With BTC outperforming gold for over a decade, 
this rare signal suggests that the next phase of the BTC vs Gold battle could 
rewrite long-term market expectations. What Happens After A Historic Squeeze? 
The Bitcoin versus Gold monthly Bollinger Bands are expanding from the 
tightest reading in history. A chartered market technician and Bitcoin trader, 
Tony “The Bull” Severino, revealed on X that the price is currently sitting at 
the lower Bollinger band, and a decisive close below will trigger a sell 
signal as the bands expand from a squeeze setup. Related Reading: Analyst’s 
Full Market Breakdown Shows Why Bitcoin Price Is Headed For $120,000 According 
to TonyTheBullCMT, this setup creates the potential for a significant 
trending-down move, which is the first major downtrend on the BTC against Gold 
chart. This might look the same against the USD, so don&#8217;t expect it to 
translate 1:1 there. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that Gold 
looks ready to overshadow BTC. If BTC is at % billion in the middle and 
falling into that lower greenish section, it won&#8217;t be a good sign for BTC in 
this ratio. The weekly Bollinger Bands on this pair were the tightest ever in 
history, and since they began to expand, BTC dropped over 25% in a couple of 
weeks. Meanwhile, the monthly signal is at least 4x stronger. Bitcoin has been 
in a brutal downtrend throughout the year. Crypto analyst Zynx has pointed out 
that BTC is now sitting almost 50% below its all-time high against Gold, and 
the ratio shows that the crypto king has effectively been in a bear market for 
an entire year of 2025. Over the last 12 months, BTC has been down 45% against 
Gold. At this point, it would need to rally 99% to surpass its previous all- 
time high against Gold, which shows that BTC must hit around $170,000 before 
it can begin to claim a true bull market. Bitcoin And Gold Ratio Hits A 
Statistical Low Rarely Reached Bitcoin has reached one of its rarest valuation 
points relative to gold in more than a decade. An analyst and founder of 
GREEND0TS, Stacy Muur, highlighted that the BTC/Gold ratio has just dropped 
below the statistical lower boundary of a 15-year power-law model. Related

It All Interestingly, BTC has breached this level only once before in late 
2017 and snapped back within weeks. Historically, when BTC gets this 
incredibly cheap compared to Gold, it doesn&#8217;t stay cheap against Gold for 
long. This is not a timing signal; rather, it is a rare statistical anomaly 
worth watching. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com
