Peter Schiff: Every Bank Will Fail as Recession Ignites Full-Scale Depression

Bitcoin prices gained by only 0.95% in the past week amidst an intense market 
consolidation. The premier cryptocurrency is struggling to break out of the 
$85,000-$86,000 price range following an impressive price rally in the second 
week of April. However, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez has identified the 
major price resistance for the current Bitcoin uptrend. Related Reading:

STH Realized Price At $91,000 Presents Major Make-Or-Break Moment In a recent 
post on X, Martinez states that Bitcoin faces a key resistance level at the 
$91,275 following a price rebound in early April. Notably, the asset surged by 
17.33% after reaching a price low of $75,000 on April 9. However, BTC has 
since entered a consolidation following this feat, producing no significant 
price movement in either direction. Over the past week, the crypto market 
leader moved only between $84,000 to $86,000, forming a tight range-bound 
market. However, amidst these struggles, Martinez states that Bitcoin short- 
term holders realized the price lies at $91,275, indicating the pivotal 
resistance to the recent market resurgence lies ahead. For context, the short- 
term holders&#8217; realized price is the average price at which new buyers (i.e, 
new investors of Bitcoin over the past 155 days) acquired their BTC. It is an 
important technical indicator used to evaluate short-term market sentiment and 
behavior. When a market price is above the STH realized price, it indicates a 
bullish momentum as recent buyers are in profit and are likely to hold. In 
this case, the STH realized price serves as a strong support level, with new 
market entrants often defending their entry zone. However, when Bitcoin’s 
price is below the STH realized price as currently seen in the market, the 
realized price forms a significant psychological price resistance. This is 
because many short-term holders may choose to exit once the market breaks 
even, increasing the selling pressure around that zone. Therefore, Bitcoin 
reclaiming $91,275 is essential to validate a sufficient bullish potential to 
fuel a complete price reversal. Related Reading: Cardano Price Surge To $1.7: 
Here Are The Factors To Drive The Recovery Bitcoin Price Overview At the time 
of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $84,872, reflecting a price growth of 0.14% 
in the last day. Meanwhile, the premier cryptocurrency is down by 1.34% on its 
monthly chart as bearish pressure continues to wane. While a major market 
resistance lies at $91,000, Bitcoin faces an immediate opposition at the 
$86,000 price zone, breaking past which could spur a sharp price rise to 
$91,000. However, a price fall below the support at $84,500 could result in a 
further price slide to $84,000 with the potential to trade as low as $83,300.

Won vs. Dollar: Diverging Bitcoin Prices Hint at Market Inflection

Bitcoin has risen dramatically over the last 10 years against gold, with a 
rise of an incredible 13,693%, according to the financial statistics shared by 
crypto entrepreneur Ted. The figures demonstrate the alarming divergence 
between the two assets from April 2015 and April 2025. In particular, this 
striking ascent of Bitcoin has caught the eye of investors spread around the 
globe. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominates Q1: Altcoin Season Nowhere In 
Sight—Report Bitcoin Vs. Gold: From Equal Footing To Massive Gap Ten years 
ago, gold and Bitcoin were at similar prices. In April 2015, Bitcoin moved 
between $200 and $250, whereas gold was ranging around $1,200 to $1,300 per 
ounce. The fortunes of these investments have since become totally different. 
Bitcoin has soared to about $84,000 per coin, up some 33,500% in the ten-year 
period. The cryptocurrency briefly peaked at nearly $109,000 during the 
timeframe. If someone tries to tell you gold is better than Bitcoin… Just show 
them this: In 2015, 1 BTC = 1 ounce of gold. Today? That same Bitcoin is up 
13,693% in 10 years. Let the numbers speak. pic.twitter.com/8JipH5IsNr — Ted 
(@TedPillows) April 17, 2025 Gold, on the other hand, has preserved its image 
of reliability over volatility, rather than offering spectacular gains. The 
precious metal increased by only 156% over the same period. From the market 
onlookers, gold&#8217;s worth proposition is still anchored on its consistent, 
inflation-proof behavior spanning very long timescales. Historical Context 
Demonstrates Divergent Patterns Of Growth Going back even farther shows an 
even greater disparity in the growth rates. According to a market analyst on 
social media platform X, the price of gold was only $20.67 per ounce in 1933. 
As for 2025, the price has gone up somewhat to around $3,330 an ounce, which 
is indeed a steep rise but a gradual increase over a period of almost a 
century. Ted&#8217;s analysis on X. Bitcoin has had a completely different history. 
From a price of $1 in 2011, it came up to $84,000 by 2025. With such rapid 
appreciation rates, both excitement and skepticism have been brought forth by 
financial analysts debating the worthiness of such growths. Sheer Disparity In 
Size According to analyst Belle, a stark contrast in the behavior is due to 
the sheer difference in the size of their market. Gold has roughly a market 
capitalization of a little over $22 trillion. Due to this great size, gold 
provides an element of stability, rendering the market less sensitive to 
individual transactions or flows of short-term investments. GOLD added $1 
trillion to its market cap in one day. That’s nearly the entire value of 
#Bitcoin right now. This shows how massive traditional markets are &amp; how early 
we still are with Bitcoin. Even a small shift into $BTC could send it flying. 
pic.twitter.com/YsjSgOZKjx — Belle (@Bitt_Belle) April 17, 2025 Bitcoin&#8217;s 
market capitalization is at approximately $1.667 trillion—large but still only 
a fraction of gold&#8217;s. This reduced size makes Bitcoin more sensitive to 
capital flows. Gold recently saw an impressive $1 trillion rise in market 
capitalization over one day, but this was a much smaller percentage move than 
the same dollar flow would trigger in Bitcoin&#8217;s value. Related Reading: Is

capitalization—comparable to the recent one-day increase in gold—its price per 
unit might rise from $84,000 to $135,000. Featured image from The Ledn Blog,
