[Analyst: Bitcoin Can Continue to Rise Without Waiting for Gold and Silver to Pull Back] According to Cointelegraph, analysts believe that Bitcoin can continue to rise without waiting for gold and silver to pull back. Glassnode Chief Analyst James Check stated on the X platform: 'This might be an unexpectedly "unpopular" opinion.' Bitcoin holders with opposing views 'simply do not understand these assets.' Macroeconomist Lyn Alden expressed a similar opinion in a YouTube podcast released on Saturday. She stated that although 'many people describe it as a competitive relationship,' she 'does not agree with this view.' Alden pointed out that the recent strong performance of the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio is because Bitcoin has been in a 'stagnant phase' over the past year, while gold has experienced its 'most glorious year.'
