Why Bitcoin's Price Consolidates While Gold and Silver Rally to New Highs

Bitcoin recently pulled back from a cycle peak near $125,000 and is now trading around $88,000 after briefly exceeding $90,000, while gold and silver are advancing to fresh highs. The article attributes this divergence to a recurring market pattern in which capital first flows into defensive assets like precious metals before rotating into higher-risk assets such as crypto. Technical indicators such as RSI in the mid-40s, easing volume, and a recovering MACD suggest consolidation rather than a breakdown, with some prior cycles showing strong Bitcoin rallies after metals lose momentum.
