While gold, silver, and stocks are all hitting new all-time highs, Bitcoin presents an intriguing divergence—currently trading roughly 30% below its previous peak. This disconnect opens up two compelling interpretations of where crypto markets are heading.
First scenario: Bitcoin is severely undervalued. In this view, BTC is simply lagging the broader risk-asset rally. As investors rotate back into crypto or institutions recognize its macro hedge qualities, Bitcoin could catch up to traditional assets—and potentially rocket past them given its volatility characteristics and smaller market cap.
Second scenario: Bitcoin is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. The fact that it's underperforming gold, silver, and equities could signal that risk assets across the board are mispriced. If macro conditions shift or liquidity tightens, Bitcoin's weakness might be an early warning that the entire risk-on trade is vulnerable to a significant correction.
The truth likely hinges on how you read current economic signals. Either Bitcoin is catching a delayed entry point into this bull cycle, or it's quietly showing us something the stock market hasn't priced in yet.

Is Bitcoin truly undervalued or is it warning signals? To be honest, I’m a bit unsure right now, but seeing gold, silver, and stocks all hitting new highs while Bitcoin lags behind by 30% is indeed a bit strange.

My goodness, now the question is—is BTC about to make a big move or is the entire market going to cool off? I mentioned this three years ago; the historical cycle theory tells us it happens repeatedly... A 30% pullback is nothing, I lost even more last year haha. Now we just wait to see when the institutions turn around—that's the real signal.

This wave of Bitcoin is indeed a bit awkward, being beaten by all assets by 30%. It's either a bargain or a warning to everyone.

Still trying to tell stories after Bitcoin drops 30%? Honestly, it's a gamble on who will reverse first... Gold, silver, and stocks are soaring, only BTC is lagging behind. This definitely needs some careful thinking about what's going on.
