Oh, for heaven’s sake! Another crypto analyst is telling us to chuck our gold bars into the Thames and trade in for Bitcoin. Because nothing says “rational decision” like following a man with a chart on Twitter, right?
According to Joao Wedson (yes, really, that’s his name), the BTC/Gold ratio is throwing a hissy fit of historic proportions. His chart looks like a toddler’s finger-painting, but he insists it’s a “normalized oscillator” at a low. The blue tag means “sell your jewelry,” and the green tag means “also sell your jewelry-but faster.”
Historic Opportunity: Trade Gold for Bitcoin. ⮕₿ (Because nothing says “historic” like a man with a chart.) Bottom signals in the BTC/Gold ratio are as rare as a man who remembers to buy tampons. And they tend to pop up during moments of high drama and Bitcoin nose-dives. Well, we’re exactly there right now. The blue signal marks the current bottom, revealed… (Cue ominous music and a close-up of a Bitcoin logo.) – Joao Wedson (@joao_wedson) October 18, 2025
Arthur Hayes, ex-BitMEX CEO (because nothing says “reassurance” like a guy who once ran a now-defunct exchange), has chimed in with a similar view: “We’re exactly there right now,” he said, as if he’s the financial equivalent of a psychic hotline. The message from both analysts is clear: look closely at this moment-or don’t, because the floor is probably going to give way anyway.
Bitcoin Seen At A Deep Value Zone
Some market watchers are saying Bitcoin is trading two standard deviations below its ideal range. Which, if you’re not a math teacher, just means it’s “on sale” but with more jargon. This kind of reading has historically coincided with accumulation phases, not market tops. (Spoiler: it’s definitely not the top this time. Probably.)
According to CoinMarketCap (because of course), BTC was trading near $107,400 at press time and had risen 0.45% in the previous 24 hours. Year-to-date gains stood at 15%, and Bitcoin had gained nearly 55% over the last year. Those figures were cited to show that the currency has already moved a lot this year, but that some measures still point to cheaper-than-usual levels. (Cheaper than a flat white, at least.)
Institutional Shifts May Be Underway
Wedson specifically urged institutional players who have been buying up gold to rethink allocations. The BTC/Gold ratio has long been used as a gauge of confidence between the two stores of value. When it hits a bottom, some market cycles have followed with Bitcoin regaining ground quickly and, in some cases, moving toward fresh highs within months. This is the historical pattern his signal is tied to. Some of the language used by analysts was blunt; the oscillator was described as “basically screaming: time to sell gold and buy Bitcoin,” a phrase that underlines how strong the signal appears to those calling it.
While the ratio story points to upside, a separate disclosure shows a different risk for ordinary investors. Reports from 10X Research say retail buyers lost around $17 billion after piling into public Bitcoin treasury firms that traded at premiums. Those companies-MicroStrategy (now Strategy, because rebranding is key when you’re losing money) and Metaplanet-issued shares and used the cash to buy Bitcoin, but the equity premiums collapsed as Bitcoin’s run slowed. The report added that investors overpaid by about $20 billion in inflated equity premiums, leaving many with losses while insiders and executives benefited earlier in the move. (Classic!)
