Bitcoin continues to weaken relative to precious metals, while silver defies the trend and rises, drawing attention

2025-12-29 07:14:09

【Blockchain Rhythm】In the past week, the precious metals market performed brilliantly, with gold and silver both rallying, while Bitcoin remained sideways. Data shows that by the end of the week, the Bitcoin-to-Silver ratio had fallen to 1104, hitting a new low since September 2023. It’s worth noting that since May alone, this ratio has been halved—down by as much as 67%, which clearly indicates the strength of silver.

The situation with gold is similar. The Bitcoin-to-Gold ratio is now only 19, also hitting a low since November 2023, and has plummeted 50% compared to January. This means the “cost” of exchanging Bitcoin for gold is increasing month by month, and precious metals are once again attracting capital.

Looking back to the lowest point of the 2022 bear market, the Bitcoin-to-Silver and Bitcoin-to-Gold ratios were only 680 and 9, respectively. Comparing today’s 1104 and 19, we see an interesting phenomenon—although Bitcoin performed weakly last year, its relative attractiveness compared to precious metals seems to be adjusting again. How far this round of precious metals rally can go remains worth further observation.

BTC-2.25%

Silver is rising so sharply, should I consider reducing my position? It feels like the trend has shifted.

honestly the ratios are just noise if you're not looking at actual volatility metrics. comparing btc to commodities like this is technically speaking a flawed framework—you're mixing orthogonal asset classes with different correlation structures. but sure, metals pumping makes headlines i guess 🤷

Alright, these data points are indeed a bit tough to handle. I never expected Bitcoin to be so thoroughly beaten by gold and silver. --- Wait, silver has surged like this? Should I add to my precious metals holdings or keep holding onto my coins? --- A 67% decline—wow, this is truly a relative bear market. --- No way, only half a year and it's halved? Why does my portfolio feel more and more like a mess? --- Gold has only risen a little and already outperformed Bitcoin. Traditional finance still has some tricks up its sleeve. --- Is this a warning for us to cut losses and switch to gold? I don't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked. --- Silver has made a comeback, indeed, while I'm still waiting for the king of coins to wake up. --- The ratio dropped from 680 to 1104? The bottom in 2022 wasn't even this bad. How outrageous is that? --- So now is the time to consider asset allocation? Or is this just Bitcoin's calm before its next takeoff? --- This recent surge in precious metals is quite a move. By the way, when will the crypto circle turn around?

lmao so we're really watching btc get ratio'd by literal rocks now? 67% down on the silver ratio since may... that's what happens when you're too busy arguing about L1 vs L2 to notice real assets moving, ngl. meanwhile i'm here tracking this like it's another failed tx i gotta optimize away from 💀

Silver's recent surge is really incredible, Bitcoin has depreciated so much... a 67% drop? Can't really handle it. --- So now it's the era of precious metals? It seems the hype in the crypto world is indeed shifting. --- Wait, this data looks ridiculous, the lowest point in the bear market actually has a lower ratio? The logic is a bit messy. --- They're coming to cut the leeks of us holding coins again, I should have just switched to gold. --- Hey, wait a minute, silver is rising so fiercely, is someone manipulating the market? --- Bitcoin's continuous weakness is a bit scary, it feels like mainstream funds are fleeing. --- By the way, are the opportunities in precious metals more stable than in coins? --- Annoying, last year everyone was hyping Bitcoin to the sky, and now it's like this.

Silver is really fierce this time, Bitcoin is being crushed to death --- Back to comparing with the worst? Are they all falling equally badly --- Wait, the lowest in the bear market was 680, now 1104? That logic is a bit ridiculous --- Precious metals have awakened, but I still believe in the recovery of cryptocurrencies --- 67% decline... my investment portfolio is crying --- Gold is just gold, why must it be compared with BTC --- What does this data indicate, is the coin about to die or are precious metals taking off? I don't quite understand --- Oh no, really chose the wrong track --- Precious metals vampires, they've been too arrogant lately --- It's a bit ridiculous, feels like the whole market is shorting coins

Why is silver suddenly so strong this time? Has Bitcoin really become just a side dish? --- Wait, 1104 is higher than 680? This data feels a bit counterintuitive. --- Here we go again? The precious metals vampires have really recovered. --- The key is, what exactly is Bitcoin waiting for? It's been stagnant for so long. --- Gold and silver uprising, I just want to know what the institutions are doing. --- The gold-to-silver ratio alone is meaningless; the real question is when will BTC turn around? --- The lows of 2022 don't seem that low in hindsight.

Silver's recent movement is indeed fierce, Bitcoin is being pressed down hard... Should we consider allocating more to precious metals? --- 67% decline... To be honest, I didn't expect this. Why is the crypto market getting so heavily cut? --- Alright, alright, another signal of capital shifting. Precious metals are rising, and coins have to give way. --- Wait, this logic seems a bit reversed? In a bear market, the ratio is actually higher? Can someone explain? --- Silver is going crazy, that's for sure. But is Bitcoin really that weak... It feels like capital is looking for an exit. --- Laughing out loud, it was halved in just five months. How little do they think of Bitcoin? --- Reassessing the allocation, it seems the pure crypto approach needs to be adjusted. --- Gold and silver are soaring together, but coins are just stagnating here. It's a bit awkward. --- After comparing historical data, it seems BTC isn't that weak? How did this article get written? --- Precious metals are now just riding the capital shift's dividend, forcing Bitcoin to make way. --- So the question is, should we buy silver now or not?

Wow, a 67% drop—is that real? I thought it was just sideways trading. Gold and silver are surging—are the crypto circles about to be overtaken? Wait, has the silver ratio halved from May until now? How did I not notice? Gold is only 19... I feel like I need to reconsider my allocations. Interesting, the bear market low was 680, now it's 1104? These numbers look even more hopeless. So Bitcoin isn't as valuable now, is it? Why do I feel like the precious metals are secretly harvesting us? A 50% crash from January until now... I really couldn't keep up with this wave. The crypto market is "sideways trading," while others are making money with precious metals. Something's off—can silver really rise so fiercely?
