Sell Bitcoin Now and Buy Gold, Says Peter Schiff

Earlier today, Bitcoin’s price took a dive below $93,000, with 24-hour liquidations soaring to $243 million, according to Coinglass data. With BTC eroding all of its 2025 gains, critics like Peter Schiff have stepped up fresh attacks on the largest crypto.

Highlighting Gold’s dominance over BTC, Schiff said that the yellow metal has resumed its upward momentum, trading back above $4,100 during early Asian hours, while Bitcoin is struggling to maintain levels near $93,000. The BTC sell-off has intensified amid strong Bitcoin ETF outflows last week.

Peter Schiff added that Bitcoin is now down 26% from its recent peak. He emphasized that the decline is even more severe when measured against gold.

According to him, Bitcoin has fallen 39% in gold terms, signaling a “far more ferocious” bear market relative to the precious metal. “Sell Bitcoin now and buy gold before you get mauled,” said Schiff in his recent message on X platform.

Market experts believe there’s been a growing divergence between BTC’s price and Gold since the massive $19.2 billion crypto market liquidation on October 10.

Over the past month, gold has outperformed Bitcoin by roughly 25 percentage points, reversing several months of strong positive correlation between the two assets.

Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter noted that sentiment and price dynamics changed sharply after the October 10 liquidation event. They added that the divergence is primarily due to extremely high leverage levels and liquidation pressure.

Senior Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas has come to Bitcoin’s defense amid major flak amid underperformance against Gold. He wrote:

Did any bitcoiners complain last year when btc was up 122%, which was 5x SPY, GLD? Was anyone like 'wait, btc's historical perf relative to risk assets says it shouldnt be this high, this is bad!' No, you loved the extra excess, double dip, and so this year you get nothing,… pic.twitter.com/utxLLCUR6G

Experts See BTC Price Sell-off to $83,500

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reports that Bitcoin has broken out of its trading channel. This has further increased the probability of a BTC price fallout to $83,500.

At the same time, Martinez highlights rising selling pressure, noting that more than 10,000 BTC, nearly $1 billion, have flowed into crypto exchanges over the past 72 hours. The surge in inflows signals waning investor sentiment in current market conditions.
