Bitcoin's upward movement does not require waiting for gold and silver adjustments; multiple top analysts support independent market trends.

A recent market opinion circulating is that Bitcoin must wait for gold and silver to correct before continuing to rise. But this view is being challenged.

Senior analysts dismiss this misconception

Glassnode chief analyst James Check straightforwardly states that this view is “unexpectedly unpopular,” but he firmly asserts that those claiming Bitcoin depends on precious metals’ adjustments “simply do not truly understand these asset classes.” While this perspective may seem bold, it actually points to a core truth — different assets have their own operational logic.

Macro economist Lyn Alden’s analysis is even more in-depth. She breaks the common market assumption of a “competitive relationship,” pointing out that this understanding is actually quite one-sided. Lyn Alden notes that the reason Bitcoin has performed relatively strongly against gold this year mainly stems from two differences: Bitcoin was in a “relatively dormant period” last year, while gold experienced a “remarkably excellent year.” Both assets are supported by their own long-term economic logic, and there is no necessary sequential relationship.

Institutional executives are optimistic about Bitcoin’s independent rise

The industry holds a positive outlook on Bitcoin’s medium-term prospects. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan states, “Bitcoin will rise next year.” A more aggressive voice comes from Jan3 founder Samson Mow, who even predicts that Bitcoin may be entering a “ten-year bull cycle.”

Most industry insiders also predict that the current correction phase is expected to complete its reversal by 2026, ushering in new upward momentum. These expectations reflect market recognition of Bitcoin’s long-term independence — it is no longer a follower dependent on traditional assets but an independent trading instrument with its own market logic.
