The Bitcoin to Gold ratio is repeating its 2017-2018 playbook—same moves, same pressure points, same turning moments.

Look back at what happened:

Gold made its move first. Then came the squeeze—months of BTC/XAU compression that felt like nothing was happening. But quietly, momentum was shifting. When it finally flipped, Bitcoin started running hard against the yellow metal. Most called it the peak. Wrong call. It was the baton pass.

Fast forward to now. The setup mirrors itself. Gold had its moment out front. The ratio has been grinding sideways, that familiar tightness building again. The question isn't whether the pattern holds—it's whether you see the handoff coming. History doesn't repeat, but markets sure love their rhythms. When Bitcoin starts its move relative to Gold, you'll know the cycle has turned.

It's another story of history repeating itself, but I bet this time is different. --- Wait, will the squeeze really quietly turn around? Feels like someone always says that... --- Gold moves first, Bitcoin follows later. I've seen this rhythm too many times, but the question is who can truly hold onto this turning point. --- Nah, I'm getting a bit tired of this explanation, the market isn't that predictable. --- For Bitcoin to truly flip the ratio against gold, it depends on the performance in the next few months. It's too early to draw conclusions now. --- Interestingly, most people see the squeeze and think it's the end, but it might actually be just the beginning. This psychological game... --- Hold tight, either this time it really happens, or we keep grinding.

It's another replay of history, but this time I bet gold prices will collapse first. --- Wait, are you sure this time is really like 2017? I don't think so. --- Handshake handover theory sounds comfortable, but in reality, everyone is a post-event strategist. --- After so long of grinding on the sidelines, when will it finally take off? --- Sounds good, but no one can predict what the next step will be.
