GOLD LED. BITCOIN IS AT THE HANDOFF.

This pause isn’t random.

It’s a rotation phase markets repeat every cycle.

The sequence is always the same:

– Uncertainty peaks → capital runs to gold

– Gold breaks out → then ranges

– Early profits look for higher beta

– Bitcoin gets tested next

Gold already made its move.

Now momentum is stalling, not reversing.

Bitcoin is sitting in the transfer window:

- Too strong to ignore.

- Too early for comfort.

If rotation follows through, expansion comes next.

If it delays, defense holds briefly.

These zones never announce themselves.

Price makes them obvious later.
