Gold leaves Bitcoin in the dust amid tariff woes

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price volatility returning at the Wall Street open.

BTC/USD displayed uncertain trading behavior in line with US stocks as the second revision of US Q4 GDP came in above the median forecast of 2.3%.

At the same time, initial jobless claims fell short of estimates, potentially emboldening more hawkish financial policy from the Federal Reserve in the form of higher interest rates.

However, the main talking point among market commentators was tariffs on non-US-made cars imposed by President Donald Trump. These added to existing concerns over a round of tariffs due to commence on April 2.

“These tariffs are going to have MASSIVE implications,” trading resource The Kobeissi Letter wrote in part of its response on X, noting the UK’s $10 billion auto export market to the US.

Already sensitive to tariff surprises, risk assets thus failed to climb, with the clear winner from the latest news being gold.

XAU/USD hit new all-time highs of $3,059 per ounce on the day, repeating an existing trend of gaining while Bitcoin treads water.

“Gold has now added +$7 trillion of market cap over the last 12 months. It's also nearing $21 trillion in market cap for the first time in history,” Kobeissi added.

“Gold is telling us something.”
