Gold<\/a> has been used for centuries as an investment, a currency, a store of value, and a medium of exchange. Bitcoin<\/a> is its digital counterpart, sharing many of the same attributes that give the precious metal its unique value.<\/p>\n The two assets have behaved similarly in the face of growing economic turmoil, fueling the “Bitcoin as a safe haven narrative.” That similar performance is poised to continue if Bitcoin continues to follow an eerily similar fractal from gold’s price chart.<\/p>\n Gold<\/a> has been surging since the start of 2019, just as fears of a global economic disaster began to reach a boiling point.<\/p>\n An ongoing trade war between the United States and China, and increased tensions in the Middle East between Iran and the Trump administration<\/a> potentially leading to war have caused a flight to safety by investors moving their capital out of riskier assets such as the stock market.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Bitcoin Store of Value Narrative Turning Toward Safe Haven Asset\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n And this week, gold surged another over 7% on growing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic spiraling out of control and reaching over 2,450 critical cases.<\/p>\n But as investors derisk, oddly, the high-risk asset class of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin<\/a> have been surging throughout the year.<\/p>\n Investing in the asset class of cryptocurrencies almost always comes with a disclaimer or warning to never invest more than you can comfortably afford to lose, simply due to how risky and volatile the speculative assets are.<\/p>\n Yet Bitcoin is up over 50% year to date, and Ethereum, the second in line altcoin behind Bitcoin, has more than doubled in 2020 so far.<\/p>\n And if Bitcoin continues to follow a fractal from gold price charts, the cryptocurrency is likely to push higher just as gold has over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n Because of the similarities between gold and Bitcoin<\/a>, its not uncommon for analysts to watch for similarities between the two asset’s price charts.<\/p>\n In the past, analysts have pointed to Bitcoin fractals playing out that closely mimic that of gold’s price action.<\/p>\n The latest high timeframe fractal appears to suggest that Bitcoin<\/a> will soon make a run for $11,000.<\/p>\n After gold topped out in 2011, it fell into a multi-year downtrend that it is only recently breaking free from.<\/p>\n Sound familiar?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitcoin is also just finishing up a two-year-long downtrend that took its price from $20,000 to $3,000.<\/p>\n At the top of each asset’s rally, a massive descending triangle formed, that ultimately broke down and sent each asset tumbling toward lows.<\/p>\n Once things began to turn around, each asset has rallied its way back to the support turned resistance level where the descending triangle broke down from.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gold<\/a> reclaimed that support over the last month, resulting in a push higher towards gold’s all-time high. Bitcoin, however, is consolidating just above its triangle resistance turned support, possibly using it as a launchpad higher – just as gold did.<\/p>\n With such similar price action, and because Bitcoin’s safe haven narrative positions it as a flight to safety just like gold, it wouldn’t be too surprising for the two assets to behave similarly as the overall global economy becomes more fragile by the day.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Okay Boomer: Millennials Prefer Bitcoin To Gold During Crisis\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nInvestors Fears Are Fueling Safe Haven Asset Performance<\/h2>\n
