📰 News Highlights:

Bitcoin vs. Gold Risks [Source][Source][Source]

Bitcoin faces new risks as gold surges past the S&P 500 and US dollar strength. Analysts suggest Bitcoin lags behind gold and could eventually follow its price movement.

Gold’s resilience against volatility and macroeconomic pressures signals potential upside for BTC, but concerns over the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio persist.

The ratio hit all-time highs in December 2024, but analysts warn a drop below 34 could end Bitcoin’s bull run.

 📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:

Bitcoin’s Drop Is NOT What It Seems! (BTC)

Understanding the Drop

• Fair Value Gap (FVG): Bitcoin revisited an imbalance zone, a common market behavior before moving to higher levels.

• Healthy Movement: This retracement is part of a strong uptrend, not the end of the bull market.

Market Structure Remains Bullish

• Higher Lows: Support shifted from $89,000–$92,000 to $97,000–$102,000, keeping the trend intact.

• Moving Averages: Price is consolidating around key moving averages, reinforcing bullish momentum.

Technical Indicators Confirm Strength

• Trend Ribbon Indicator: Bitcoin remains in a bullish phase, signaling an ideal buying opportunity for long-term investors.

• MACD: Positive momentum persists; red bars indicate a normal retracement, not a trend reversal.

• RSI: Still above the median line, meaning buyers remain in control.

💡 Feature of the Day: 

Bitwise Dogecoin ETF [Source][Source]

Bitwise has officially filed with the SEC to launch a Dogecoin ETF, aiming to track DOGE’s price movements.

The fund would hold Dogecoin, with Coinbase Custody as the proposed custodian. This follows a surge in memecoin ETF filings, testing the SEC’s stance on such products.

Bitwise’s filing leaves key details, such as fees and listing exchange, unspecified. The firm has also filed for Solana and XRP ETFs, expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ether.
