The U.S. federal debt has surpassed $40 trillion. The government continues operating with a deficit near 6% of GDP. Long-term borrowing costs remain elevated. Even so, Bitcoin is trading near $80,000, about 37% below the all-time high reached last year.
This raises an uncomfortable question for one of Bitcoin’s oldest macro narratives: if rising debt and the weakening of fiat currencies should value scarce assets, why did Bitcoin spend much of 2026 declining?

Two independent analysts concluded that the bottom of Bitcoin (BTC) has already been reached, and each arrived at this conclusion autonomously. Charles Edwards tracks the liquidity of stablecoins, while Root evaluates the structure of market cycles.
The analyses were released with just a few days' difference at the start of September. None of the specialists pointed to an immediate surge for the coin. Both argued more narrowly, highlighting that the conditions that characterized the bear market are no longer present.

The correction in gold since January presents a very different scenario when analyzed relative to equities. The metal is currently 21% below the peak recorded in January. Over the same period, the S&P 500-to-gold ratio rose from approximately 1.27 to 1.79, an advance of 40%. This represents a significant adjustment in relative value.
We believe that the overly gold-concentrated trading at the start of 2026 has largely been dissipated; in addition, the body of evidence now favors gold outperforming stocks. The metal remains about 21% below the January record, the gap in relative valuation versus equities has retreated by nearly 40%, and the relevant buyers for a sustained move, such as central banks and ETFs, have increased their positions while the price has fallen.

Co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, dismissed a warning that artificial intelligence (AI) would trigger a drop in Bitcoin. He took a different stance from the claim that the BTC could lose more than half of its value in two years.
The discussion took place on X on Monday. Liron Shapira, an AI risk commentator, set the parameters, and Buterin replied saying his wallet is already on the opposite side.
Where did the claim come from that AI would cause a drop in Bitcoin?

Investors are watching stocks and Bitcoin closely, waiting for a new major top. Well-known macroeconomic analyst Jason Pizzino says the first warning sign has already come from the U.S. real estate market.
His analysis is based on an 18-year real estate cycle, drawn from about 220 years of U.S. sales data. The current cycle began around 2011–2012 and projects the sector’s peak between 2025–26, with a possible low between 2029–30.
“... When everyone gets in, you're at the top,” said Pizzino.
