On January 15, prominent crypto analyst @IamCryptoWolf shared a post on X noting that the weekly RSI for the BTC/gold ratio currently sits at an oversold level of ~27.54. Historically, such low readings have preceded strong BTC outperformance relative to gold—with the ratio surging over 100% multiple times following key reversal points since 2013 (e.g., 2015, 2018). End-of-2025 market data shows the ratio hit a three-year low, and the analyst expects macroeconomic conditions to drive further BTC outperformance over gold in 2026. With 113,000 followers on X, @IamCryptoWolf first published analysis on TradingView in 2014. Notably, the analyst predicted in early November that Ethereum would correct that month, adding that a drop below $3,100 would signal the start of a bear market.
