Bitcoin Set to Explode After Gold's Rally: Here's When BTC Could Break All-Time Highs

Bitcoin may be poised for a massive rally—but only if gold continues its upward climb, according to Joe Consorti, Head of Growth at Theya.

Bitcoin could be set for a price explosion—but only if gold continues its upward rally, according to Joe Consorti, Head of Growth at Theya.

The long-standing correlation between the two assets is drawing fresh attention as both Bitcoin and gold emerge as investor favorites amid a worsening macroeconomic outlook.

“When the printer roars to life, gold sniffs it out first, then Bitcoin follows harder,” Consorti explained, adding that BTC usually lags behind gold’s price action by about 100 to 150 days.

This “lag effect” has played out in previous cycles, where gold rallies first on inflation and fiat debasement fears—only for Bitcoin to surge after, breaking through previous all-time highs.

With gold already hitting new highs in 2024, some analysts believe Bitcoin’s turn could come in Q3 or Q4 of 2025, especially if macroeconomic conditions worsen and investor demand for US dollar alternatives spikes.

Consorti’s thesis adds to growing sentiment that Bitcoin is increasingly behaving like digital gold, serving as a hedge against monetary expansion and geopolitical risk.

“If we look at the historical correlation between Bitcoin and gold, we can see that there is a clear lagging trend, with Bitcoin’s price movements following gold’s with a delay of around 3-5 months,” one trader noted on X, sharing charts that highlight the lagging pattern.

As inflation worries simmer and central banks face increasing pressure to stimulate economies, both gold and Bitcoin could once again come into the limelight as preferred assets—with BTC potentially spearheading the next leg of the crypto bull market.
