According to @AltcoinGordon, gold and global M2 are printing all‑time highs while BTC is lagging, and he projects Bitcoin could reach $150k by late 2025 or Q1 2026 (source: @AltcoinGordon on X, Sep 16, 2025). World Gold Council data confirms gold set new record prices in 2024 alongside record central‑bank purchases, reinforcing a liquidity‑tailwind backdrop for risk assets (source: World Gold Council, Gold Demand Trends 2024 and Central Bank Gold Buying 2023 reports). Historically, major BTC advances have coincided with broad money acceleration—during the 2020–2021 liquidity surge, BTC rose from roughly $7k in early 2020 to about $69k in Nov 2021 (source: IMF International Financial Statistics global broad money series; CoinGecko BTC historical prices 2020–2021). For traders leaning into this thesis, a sustained upturn in global M2 year‑over‑year and stable‑to‑falling U.S. real yields are key confirmations to increase risk, while decelerating liquidity and rising real yields warrant reduced exposure and tighter stops (source: IMF IFS for global M2; Federal Reserve H.15 real yield series). A breakout with follow‑through above prior cycle highs tends to favor momentum strategies, whereas failed breakouts near liquidity slowdowns raise drawdown risk (source: AQR, Time Series Momentum, 2012; CoinGecko BTC price behavior around the 2021 ATH).
