The RSI and MACD on the daily gold chart have already shown obvious divergence, which often indicates that a correction is imminent. Once gold truly starts to decline, we will see a collective rally in the cryptocurrency market—assets like BTC and ETH, which are considered risk assets, usually strengthen accordingly.
The logic behind this is quite simple: capital is like flowing water, always moving from high-risk, high-premium areas to relatively undervalued and more attractive assets. When traditional stable assets lose their appeal, those risk assets with prices still in the trough and relatively safe fundamentals become new targets.
According to historical patterns, after the signal of a 3.5% decline on the daily gold chart appears, it typically takes about 100 days for crypto assets to reach a stage high. This time window roughly corresponds to the end of Q1, which should see a small climax. However, from a full-year perspective, I believe the end of Q1 is not the peak price of 2026; the true peak is likely to occur at the end of Q3.

I have to question the gold divergence here—are historical patterns really that accurate... But on the other hand, the idea of peaking at the end of Q3 does pique my interest.

If gold is going to fall, then should our BTC take off? I followed this wave.

The gold divergence theory has been discussed for several rounds... To be honest, it hasn't been accurate each time. Why should I believe it this time?
How is this 100-day window calculated? Can it be precise to the day... It's a bit uncertain.
Peak at the end of Q3? Then we have to HODL until death... The risk is just too high.

When gold falls, we rise. This logic isn't wrong... But is the 100-day cycle reliable? Feels like this time is a bit different.

I've heard the RSI divergence argument too many times. Every time, it's said that a new high will be reached in 100 days. But what happened? When gold dropped 3.5% in reality, market sentiment had already changed. It's too late to stick to the old script now.
How was the "100-day historical pattern" calculated? What was the sample size? Or is it just the usual after-the-fact armchair analysis?
The true peak at the end of Q3? Ha, by then they'll definitely come up with reasons to say it was "within expectations." That's classic retail investor thinking—leaving an escape route to shift blame.

Golden divergence makes you think the coin is about to fly? Nonsense, I've heard this argument too many times. Every time they talk about a time window, and what’s the result? The peak at the end of Q3—are you telling a story or presenting real data?
