The divergence between gold and Bitcoin's price action is expected to continue, according to a recent analysis by Matrixport. Their report highlights a weakening correlation driven by differing market forces. While the market anticipates potential interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in December, Matrixport suggests the impact on overall monetary easing will be limited. Gold, traditionally viewed as a safe haven, exhibits a stronger connection to the US fiscal deficit and Treasury bond issuance rates. Bitcoin, conversely, relies more heavily on fresh capital inflows. With no clear signals of increased liquidity on the horizon, the report concludes that the decoupling between Bitcoin and gold prices is likely to persist. Investors should, therefore, consider these distinct drivers when evaluating their portfolio allocation. ```
