The Decoupling is Done: Why $4,000+ Gold and Bitcoin Are Now Both Anti-Fiat, Not Anti-Dollar

The financial rules are broken. Gold's rally past $4,000 has decoupled from the US Dollar, confirming that hard assets are now functioning as a systemic hedge against sovereign instability and monetary policy failure, a direct boon for the Bitcoin thesis.

1) The Failed Correlation: Gold is above $4,000/oz, even as the USD maintains its strongest position in two months. This simultaneous strength confirms the "debasement trade" is now a flight from fiat, not a bet against the dollar.

2) The Sovereign Hedge: This flight is driven by public concern over the U.S. economy running on a "sugar high" fueled by massive government spending and loose monetary policies.

3) Utility Counter-Narrative: Bitcoin's value extends beyond storage: $1.5 billion in trading volume is facilitated by the Lightning Network. This refutes the narrative that Bitcoin is failing as a medium of exchange.

Is the decoupling of gold and the USD the final, definitive proof that every portfolio needs a structural allocation to BTC, or will the looming BoE bubble warning eventually drag down all risk assets, including Bitcoin?
