  • Gold Surges Past $5,000 as Bitcoin Stalls Near $87,000 Amid Market Divergence
    January 25, 2026, 11:02 PM EST. Gold prices have surged above $5,000, signaling a potential regime shift rather than a temporary spike, as bitcoin hovers near $87,000 in early Hong Kong trading. Market data from CryptoQuant indicates bitcoin holders are selling at a loss for the first time since late 2023, suggesting a phase of market consolidation. Glassnode reports persistent supply resistance for bitcoin, with key price barriers around $98,000 to $100,000 curbing rallies. Futures volumes and leverage remain subdued, indicating a cautious market. Meanwhile, prediction markets show investors favoring gold's strength to persist into mid-year, while expecting bitcoin to consolidate further. Overall, gold appears to be absorbing broader macroeconomic stress, contrasting with bitcoin's internal supply-driven price stagnation.
