Title: Bitcoin and gold both crash into long-term support at same time
Post by: theonewhowaskazu on September 19, 2014, 08:35:55 PM
I was looking at the bitcoin and gold charts recently, and they're actually ridiculously similar, if on very different timeframes.

Check out a 5 year chart of gold, versus a 1 year chart of BTC.

Both started out very low, and rallied to a new ATH. Then, a crash, then two tries to hit that new high both of which failed. After the second fail, the prices goes into a downtrend. First there's a brief crash, and both create a sure bottom followed by a bounce. But, after some idling, the two got roughly in sync, with both tanking toward that recent low again, gold at 1210-ish and BTC at $360-ish.

What do you think will happen from here, and do you expect the two to move in the same direction from their low, or in opposite directions?
