Bitcoin is struggling as gold gains nearly 5% this week, sparking questions about their correlation amid macroeconomic shifts. Traders anticipate a short-term Bitcoin slump amidst a broader price rebound. The crypto market appears directionless compared to gold’s performance.

BTC price stalls at $95,000, nearing key support at $93,500, as gold outperforms with 1.5% daily gains and 4.4% week-to-date gains. Crypto implied vols remain low, with spot prices stagnant. The market is observing various macro swings, including a 3% gold surge and weaker-dollar narrative.
