Bitcoin-gold correlation hits six-year high as BTC nears positive 2026 against gold
Bitcoin and gold move together at a six-year high
The 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold has reached a six-year high, according to a Bitcoin Magazine video published on September 26, 2026. Correlation here means how closely two assets move in the same direction over time.
The same video says Bitcoin is now about 3% away from turning positive against gold for 2026. That measure looks at how Bitcoin has performed compared with gold this year, not at its price in dollars.
What the Bitcoin-to-gold chart shows
- The video reports a string of higher lows on the Bitcoin-to-gold chart since February, along with higher highs.
- Bitcoin reached a new high above 17.9 ounces of gold on that chart, up from 12.1 ounces.
- The presenter describes the 20.3-ounce level as the 2026 yearly open and a level that matters.
- The next resistance cited is 21.5 ounces of gold, which the video equates to roughly $92,000.
Why the video measures Bitcoin in gold
The video includes a section on why it measures Bitcoin against gold rather than only in dollars. The stated reason is to strip out dollar debasement, meaning the loss of purchasing power of the US dollar over time, so that Bitcoin's performance can be viewed on its own.
How the analysis is presented
The material is technical analysis, which is a method of studying price charts to describe trends and levels. It is the view of the presenter, not a confirmed outcome. The published disclaimer states that the views and opinions in the show belong to the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.

What is confirmed and what is not
Confirmed from the source: the video was published on September 26, 2026 by Patrick Green, it reports a six-year high in the 90-day Bitcoin-gold correlation, and it reports the chart levels listed above.
Not confirmed: the source does not show the underlying data calculations, does not say what will happen next, and does not state whether Bitcoin will move above the cited levels. The levels and the 3% figure come from the presenter's analysis and should be read as such.
