Joao Wedson, a verified author at CryptoQuant, has identified bottom signals that historically appear during periods of extreme market volatility. These signals rarely emerge in Bitcoin markets, but when they do, they often mark steep drawdowns that precede strong recoveries.
Wedson’s analysis utilizes a normalized oscillator to track the BTC-to-gold ratio. Currently, the oscillator shows what he describes as a clear bottom signal. His chart displays two key indicators: a blue signal indicating the current ratio bottom, and a more powerful green signal that appears when multiple indicators align at low points. Historically, the green signal has marked some of the best Bitcoin buying opportunities against gold.
Wedson directed his analysis particularly at institutional investors, who have been increasing their gold holdings recently. “If I were you, I’d take a close look at this chart,” Wedson stated. He argues that Bitcoin now presents a stronger risk-reward profile than gold.
### Institutional Analysis Points to Undervaluation
JP Morgan’s research team, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, has assessed Bitcoin as undervalued compared to gold. The bank forecasts a potential Bitcoin price of $165,000 by 2025 based on this comparison.
Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has also weighed in on current market conditions, describing the present Bitcoin price as a major buying opportunity.
Frank Fetter from Vibes Capital Management identified an oversold signal in short-term holder MVRV Bollinger bands. This marks the third occurrence of such a signal in recent market history. The previous two occurred during the Yen Carry Unwind at $49,000 and the Tariff Tantrum at $74,000—both events that preceded Bitcoin price recoveries.
### Current Market Conditions
Bitcoin is currently trading around $106,925, representing a 0.42% increase over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has gained 14.6% year-to-date and nearly 59% over the past year. Historically, this condition has coincided with major accumulation phases rather than market tops.
Macro trends continue to point toward a bull run extending into 2026. Market analyst Pat described the current drop in the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio as a “generational bottom event.”
The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio has long served as a measure of investor confidence between the two assets. When the ratio reaches bottom levels, it often signals the end of Bitcoin’s underperformance. Historical patterns show that past ratio bottoms led to Bitcoin surging to new all-time highs within months.
The 2020 market correction in gold, for instance, preceded a significant growth period for Bitcoin.
### Renewed Debate: Bitcoin as Digital Gold
A recent debate between economist Peter Schiff and Binance’s CZ brought renewed attention to Bitcoin’s role as digital gold. Schiff claimed Bitcoin has failed in this capacity, while CZ defended Bitcoin’s long-term value.
Wedson’s current analysis suggests institutional investors should reconsider their allocation strategies between gold and Bitcoin. His oscillator indicates that conditions now favor a shift toward Bitcoin holdings.
At a current price of $106,925, Bitcoin reflects a 0.42% gain in the past 24 hours, highlighting a potentially significant buying opportunity in the eyes of several market experts.
