#$BTC Bitcoin Isn't at a Record Like Gold and S&P 500, but an Overlooked Catalyst Suggests a Coming Change
The downtrend in the yen has resumed in strong fashion, a good sign for risk assets, crypto among them.
Gold has made another all-time high, climbing through $2,700 per ounce, as has the S&P 500, which rose above 5,870 on Thursday.
While bitcoin is up 15% from the October low and appears set to rechallenge the $70,000 level, it remains about 8% below its record high recorded seven months ago.
A fresh weakening trend in the Japanese yen bodes well for risk assets going forward.$BTC
Bitcoin's (BTC) 8% rally this week has, outperformed gold and the S&P 500, but the cryptocurrency is still below its all-time high, while the yellow metal and benchmark U.S. stock index each climbed to new records.
At $2,718, gold is up 32% year-to-date and on its way to its best annual performance since 2010, when it rose 38%. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is ahead about 23% for 2024. Though not joining in the fun of new records after what's now a seven-month period of sideways-to-lower prices, bitcoin remains higher by over 50% year-to-date.
