• Gold and silver continue to rise as Bitcoin price falls below $90,000.
• BTC whales continue to accumulate BTC at a rapid pace.
• This signifies potential for a great bullish long-term divergence.

Both gold and silver prices continue to rise, as both low-risk assets go on to set new ATH price records in the New Year of 2026. In contrast, the crypto market has not seen any such prices surges in the New Year. In fact, as gold and silver continue to rise, the price of Bitcoin falls below $90,000, leaving bearish analysts rejoicing despite the increase in BTC whale activity and their increased efforts in BTC accumulation.

Gold and Silver Continue to Rise 

As of late January, the price of gold has hit new ATH prices. In detail, the price of 24-karat gold is exceptionally high, sitting between $140 – $153 per gram. Similarly, the price of silver has also hit new ATH prices with 24-karat silver trading between $3.04 – $3.06 per gram. These are exceptional times for low-risk assets as both gold and silver prices show no signs of slowing down. 

This rise in gold and silver prices was already predicted by financial expert Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Since last year, the expert has been encouraging traders to buy and hold what he calls real assets with real value, which are gold, silver, and Bitcoin (BTC). Later on, he also urged traders to hold Ethereum (ETH). However, his thoughts on gold, silver, and BTC were the strongest.

What’s more, Kiyosaki predicted a great fall in the traditional financial market caused by what he refers to as fake money, which includes stocks, equities, and more. He believes only real assets holding real value will bring people safely through a massive crash, which he refers to as a ‘Greater Depression’, a fall in markets that will be worse than the preceding Great Depression that brutally hit the USA.

Bitcoin Price Falls Below $90,000

According to CoinMarketCap analytics, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has dipped below $90,000 over the past few days. This workedexactly as predicted by various bearish analysts who expect the price of BTC to fall below $70,000 in the latter part of the year. In contrast, bullish analysts expect a small dip before BTC and altcoin prices to surge and hit new ATH records in the first half of the year.

This view is supported by the post above that shows that despite Bitcoin’s price falling back down to under $90,000, Bitcoin whales continue to accumulate. According to the data in the post above, BTC wallets with 10-10,000 BTC accumulated over 36,322 tokens in the past 9 days, while Wallets with under 0.01 BTC dumped over 132 tokens in the past 9 days. Optimal conditions for a crypto breakout are when smart money accumulates and retail dumps. This move hints at a great long-term bullish divergence.
