Gold, silver shine in debasement trade as bitcoin is left behind

JPMorgan analysts in October said investors betting on currency devaluation would lift precious metals and bitcoin, but only one of those trades has worked. What to know : Bitcoin's price dropped 30% from its October record while gold and sliver rally. Analysts suggest bitcoin's weakness is linked to its association with risky assets and structural selling by long-term holders. Historical trends indicate BTC could rally after gold's peak, with a potential catch-up expected in 2026.
