January 2026 Gold, Silver ATHs Signal Upside for Bitcoin and Altcoins

Gold and silver set new records in 2026, while Bitcoin’s October 2025 ATH above $126,000 was followed by weakness. According to analyst Mark Chadwick on X this week, the metals’ surge and Bitcoin’s lag form an unusually wide divergence that could precede rotation into crypto. His mapping outlines a 91.60% move toward $170,000 from the $82,000 area.
