Gold Hits Records While Bitcoin Lags — But Analysts See a Catch-Up

[AIcash]

Gold and silver surged to fresh all-time highs on Friday, with gold reaching $4,533 and silver climbing above $77, driven by expectations of Fed easing, a weaker dollar, and rising geopolitical risk.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, is trading near $87,650, down nearly 30% from its October peak of $125,100. Analysts say the divergence reflects timing rather than structural weakness.

Lyn Alden noted that Bitcoin spent much of the past year in a “stagnant stage,” while gold experienced one of its strongest runs — a dynamic that could eventually reverse.
