Despite reaching new heights in 2022, Bitcoin (BTC) has not yet matched all-time highs against the S&P 500, gold, and other macro assets. However, experts predict that this will happen "a matter of if, not when."
A Post on X Predicts BTC Price Outperformance
On November 15th, Caleb Franzen, creator of financial research resource Cubic Analytics, shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) predicting BTC price outperformance next. According to him, Bitcoin’s price breakout against many macro assets is yet to happen.
Bitcoin vs. S&P 500 and Gold
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes remain unbeaten by Bitcoin. This also applies to the NYSE FANG+ tech stock index and gold. Franzen notes that "just a matter of when, not if" BTC price will break out against these assets.

For US stocks, the key moment in Bitcoin’s history was early 2021, even before BTC/USD set all-time highs of $69,000, which remained in place for over two years. Since then, dollar records have fallen multiple times, but Bitcoin is still working on setting new all-time highs across the macro asset spectrum.
Cointelegraph Reports: Market Gaining Ground Against Gold
Last week, Cointelegraph reported that the market was gaining ground against gold, which had a head start of several months in setting new all-time highs in dollar terms. At the time, Charles Edwards, founder of quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole Investments, forecasted a "rapid repricing" now that BTC/USD had broken out.

Subsequently, Edwards shared a long-term chart of gold’s own breakout in the 2000s after spending 20 years below previous all-time highs from 1980. BTC/USD, he suggested, could now do likewise.

Il Capo of Crypto Implies Crash Across Risk Assets
In a dramatic alternative take, a popular but increasingly infamous Bitcoin trader is now implying that a crash across risk assets is due. On November 15th, Il Capo of Crypto returned to his Telegram channel with a photograph suggesting he expected a black swan event.
Credible Crypto Warns of $72,000 "At Least"
A fellow trader, Credible Crypto, recently called for $50,000 or lower for the pair. In his latest X analysis, he flagged $72,000 as the downside target to watch.

"If we take our highs at 93.8k in a clear, impulsive move that breaks 100k+ then 72k and below is likely gone until the next bear market," Credible Crypto wrote alongside accompanying charts. "If we instead sweep our highs and fail to produce a final, 5th subwave then it implies this move was indeed corrective and makes the odds of us retesting 70-72k AT LEAST exponentially higher."
