S&P 500 vs Gold heading into mid-2026:
S&P → 7,481
Gold → $4,073/oz
Ratio → 1.84
This ratio compression is wild. Gold's been outpacing equities hard. When stocks and gold both pump but the ratio drops, it's screaming macro uncertainty and inflation hedging.
If you're not watching this divergence, you're missing the narrative shift. Traditional safe havens are eating equity alpha.
Crypto's the third rail here — when both legacy assets show stress, digital gold ($BTC) historically catches the overflow.
Watch the ratio. When it flips sub-1.5, risk-off goes full send.
