The correlation between Bitcoin and gold has reached its highest level in six years, exceeding 0.5 on the 90-day rolling basis by the end of August 2026.

Gold trades around $4,540 per ounce while Bitcoin fluctuates between $78,500 and $80,800.

Implied market odds for gold reaching $15,000 by the end of December 2026 remain low, priced between 1.5% and 10.5%.
