In 2018, Bitcoin plunged as low as $3,200. Save for a handful of analysts, few investors expected the cryptocurrency to fall that low and that from its $20,000 all-time high. Despite the drop, bulls managed to re-assert control over the market, taking BTC back to $14,000 in the six months after the low. With this move, most analysts are certain that BTC will never trade in the low-$3,000s again. But according to Peter Schiff, the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital and a long-time BTC skeptic, this low “will not hold.” Related Reading: PSA: There’s A Crypto Scam on Youtube Misappropriating Cardano ContentPeter Schiff Doesn’t Think Bitcoin’s 2018 Low Was ItThe prominent gold bull and cryptocurrency skeptic commented on July 10th that he thinks Bitcoin’s $3,200 low “will not hold”:

The Gold EffectWhile Schiff thinks Bitcoin’s 2018 lows will not hold, he is a strong believer in the sentiment that gold will continue to rocket higher. This, some say, may boost BTC rather than crush it. Bloomberg senior commodity analyst Mike McGlone shared in June the following comment on the correlation between gold and Bitcoin:
With gold rallying past $1,800 for the first time in eight or nine years, it seems that Bitcoin may soon follow the precious metal higher. Take the chart below from a cryptocurrency trader, which shows that should Bitcoin follow gold, it will soon rally past $10,000.

He instead said that from how he sees it, BTC is more closely correlated to the S&P 500 than to gold.
