The Gold and Silver Bull (And What It Means for Bitcoin)

Just analyzed something fascinating that every DeFi investor needs to understand about the current macro environment 👀

The Bond Market Revolt Is Real 📊

Since the Fed cut 50 basis points in September 2024, we're seeing something counterintuitive but crucial - long-end yields are pushing HIGHER across developed economies:

🇯🇵 Japanese 30-year yields: Sharply higher ✅
🇬🇧 UK yields: Sharply higher ✅
🇩🇪 German yields: Sharply higher ✅
🇫🇷 French yields: Sharply higher ✅

Think about that - central banks are cutting, but long-term rates are rising 🤯 What this tells us: Investors are demanding higher returns to lend to these developed economies. They're not accepting these paltry yields anymore.

Where's the Capital Flowing? GOLD 🥇

Gold just smashed through $4,000 for the first time in history today 🚀 But here's where it gets interesting...

When you price gold in REAL terms (adjusting for inflation using USM2 instead of the manipulated CPI), we haven't even reached the 2011 highs yet. This parabolic move has plenty of room to run 📈

Silver: The Sleeping Giant 🥈

Silver sitting just below $50 looks impressive until you adjust for inflation. In real terms compared to:

2011 highs: Not even close ❌
1980 Hunt Brothers peak: Haven't even started 🔥

This isn't a top. This is barely the beginning 👀

The Bitcoin/Gold Ratio: Critical Support Test ₿/🥇

Here's what I'm watching closely - BTC/Gold is forming a textbook head and shoulders pattern. We're sitting right at crucial support ⚠️

Two scenarios:

Gold rips higher while Bitcoin goes sideways = ratio breaks down 📉
Gold rallies while Bitcoin sells off = ratio breaks down faster 📉

BUT - I don't think this breakdown happens 💪 If Bitcoin can hold this support and close a few weekly candles above the 200-day MA in gold terms, we could see the rotation begin: Gold → Bitcoin 🔄

The Catalyst to Watch 🎯

If the US Dollar breaks support and heads toward 90, both gold and silver will absolutely explode higher 🚀🚀 This could be the catalyst that finally triggers the next phase of the precious metals bull run.

Key Takeaway for DeFi Investors 💡

Rising long-end yields despite Fed cuts = bond market losing faith in fiat 💸 Gold and silver are responding, but they're just warming up in real terms. Bitcoin's relationship with gold is at a critical juncture.

Position accordingly. The macro winds are shifting fast ⚡
