Time to be contrarian on bitcoin?

Interesting comment by Gert van Lagen @GertvanLagen on X: $BTC / GOLD is hitting the purple downtrend on RSI for 5th time in history. 🟠Occurrences: + Bear market bottom 2011 + Bear market bottom 2015 + Bear market bottom 2018 + Bear market bottom 2022 + Bear market bottom 2025 ? Each time a higher low on BTC/GOLD was printed 🟠

Gold just had its biggest ever ETF inflow at $8.0bn in the past week. There is just a "little" more to go for ETFs to catch up...

This looks like a very strong trend

Japanese 10-year government bond yield hit 2.07%, the highest since the 1990s. Gold prices hit a record $4,440, rising +68% year-to-date. Finally, silver prices surpassed $66 per ounce for the first time in history, now up +134% year-to-date. When will it end? Source: Global Markets Investor

🔥Gold and silver are moving almost perfectly in line with Japanese government bond yields:

Japan's 10-year government bond yield has risen roughly 1.5 percentage points since the beginning of 2023, reaching 1.98%, the highest level since the 1990s. During this same period, gold and silver prices have skyrocketed by 135% and 175%, respectively. Are precious metals being used as a primary hedge against the rising cost of government debt?
