Why isn't Bitcoin keeping pace with gold right now? There's more to this underperformance than meets the eye. While gold continues to strengthen its safe-haven status, Bitcoin's recent market action tells a different story—suggesting deeper factors at play in how investors are positioning their defensive assets in the current cycle.

Hmm... BTC is acting up again? Gold is steady, while Bitcoin keeps causing trouble all day long. This doesn't make sense.

Jin Zewen, the crypto world has fallen behind again... By the way, this round is really a bit strange, it feels like institutions have long shifted to safe-haven assets.

Bitcoin is like this now, it's really heartbreaking... When gold rises, we fall, it feels like we've been abandoned.

Bitcoin can't keep up with gold... To be honest, it's still that institutions are not daring to be too aggressive now. Bitcoin's risk premium is indeed high, and when financial turbulence comes, they would rather have real gold and silver to back them up.

BTC indeed can't be pushed up right now, but that's not really a problem... When the overall environment changes, it will naturally rebound. History has always cycled like this.
