Summary
- Most lofty targets are based on the assumption that money will rotate out of gold and other assets and into bitcoin, but ignore opportunity cost. High yields on long-term U.S. Treasuries make non-yielding assets like bitcoin less attractive.
- Bitcoin’s price relative to the 30-year Treasury yield never made a new high in the 2025 bull run, unlike its dollar price.
- That ratio has now broken down through a multi-year support line, completing a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern.
