During a geopolitical crisis involving the US and Iran, Bitcoin saw a sharp decline to $63,000 while gold surged to $5,400.

Bitcoin is trading significantly undervalued relative to gold, with a Z-deviation metric suggesting a potential setup for a major rally.

Analysts are divided on whether this indicates a long-term opportunity or a continuation of bear market trends.
Gold prices surged past $5,400, reaching a four-week high, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions following US and Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliation.
