I built this model to price Bitcoin in Troy Ounces of Gold to find the true signal. More below. https://blossom.primal.net/7d8f33bcb48b1a168210c4456615d835f543bca3aaaec796e84806d81659e75e.png So What's the Strategy? Identify the Overheated Zone: When the probability of a pullback (grey area) hits >85%, a correction in BTC/Gold is almost certain. The Buy/Reset Zone: When probability drops <20%, the "cooling off" is over. This usually precedes a massive spike in BTC value relative to Gold. Where are we now? As of the January close, we are at 25%. We arenโt quite at the "historical stabilization" floor of 20% yet, but we are close. So What's My Read? I expect a steady state where 1 BTC โ 15 oz Gold. Instead of Bitcoin decoupling, expect them to march upward together. If Gold rises $1 in fiat, expect Bitcoin to rise roughly $15 to maintain the ratio. To Recap: We are approaching the long run average. The "fiat-denominated" rocket ship for both assets is likely just warming up. ๐๐ You can review the model here.
