**[Analysis: BTC Decouples from Gold, Correlation Drops to Lowest Since Mid-2022]** Odaily Planet Daily reports that data shows the 52-week correlation between Bitcoin and gold has dropped to zero for the first time since mid-2022 and may turn negative by the end of January. Historically, under similar circumstances, Bitcoin has typically risen by an average of 56% within approximately two months, corresponding to a price range of $144,000 to $150,000. From a cyclical structure perspective, analysts believe Bitcoin's trajectory is replicating the bull market path of 2020–2021, transitioning from a prolonged consolidation phase into the early stages of a "quasi-parabolic" rally. If historical fractals persist, BTC's target price for this cycle could point to around $150,000. The divergence between Bitcoin and gold trends often signals a strong bullish move for BTC. The current macroeconomic environment is also viewed as favorable, including the global liquidity rebound (M2 growth) and the nearing end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening (QT). Bitwise's Head of Research, Matt Hougan, stated that a new global monetary easing cycle has begun, which could continue driving Bitcoin's price upward through 2026. (Cointelegraph)
