With Bitcoin ($BTC) price having underperformed Gold (XAU) and the broader United States stock market in 2026, Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets research at VanEck, has made a bold prediction.
Bitcoin price could hit $160,000 if it reclaims its all-time high relative to gold, Sigel said. The prediction, analyzed by Finbold on May 12, is based on the $BTC/XAU pair recovering to 35x, its previous peak, from its current level of 17.1x.
