The report also shows that Bitcoin outpaced the S&P 500 (SPY) and NASDAQ, which declined 2.9% and 5.1%, respectively. This highlights Bitcoin’s resilience as a long-term asset, despite its short-term volatility.
These returns suggest that traders who held Bitcoin since Election Day have seen greater profits than those who invested in gold or other traditional assets.
Returns since Election Day:
* BTC: 24.3%
* Gold: 13.9%
* SPY: -2.9%
* QQQ: -5.1%
It's frustrating to watch bitcoin chop sideways on macro uncertainty. But it is worth zooming out occasionally to remember we're making progress.
In his post, Hougan attributed Bitcoin’s short-term downtrends to unstable market conditions, driven by inflation concerns and interest rate policies, which continue to impact the global economy.
Despite the uncertainty, Bitcoin’s solid post-election performance has helped investors maintain confidence as the market prepares for a potential rally.
"Watching Bitcoin chop sideways during macro uncertainty is frustrating," Hougan admitted, expressing his frustration over Bitcoin’s short-term volatility.
