What Should the Best Bitcoin (BTC) – Gold Allocation Be Like? Wall Street Giant Citi Reveals!

The rivalry between Bitcoin ($BTC) and gold has been ongoing for a long time. Some analysts advocate for Bitcoin, others for gold, while some argue that both should be included in portfolios.

At this point, Citi, one of the most important names on Wall Street, also states that both $BTC and gold should be included in portfolios.

Citi analyst Alex Saunders said that a portfolio allocation of gold and Bitcoin is better than a traditional portfolio mix.

According to CNBC, a study by Citi found that adding gold and Bitcoin together to portfolios has increased the efficiency of bond and stock portfolios over the past 10 years.

According to this research, combining gold and Bitcoin in a portfolio increased returns without increasing risk.

In this context, Citi analyst Alex Saunders stated that investors perform better by holding small amounts of both gold and Bitcoin, rather than preferring one over the other.

“A 5% investment in gold significantly increases portfolio efficiency. Dividing this investment between gold and Bitcoin further enhances performance.”

The Citi analyst concluded by adding that a mixed allocation of gold and Bitcoin has been helpful during bullish periods in bond markets and during downturns driven by fiscal concerns and rising inflation risks.

Bitcoin liquidation map flags $73.6K ‘trapdoor’ and $81.3K squeeze zone


Coinglass shows $2.221B of $BTC longs below $73,610 and $913M of shorts above $81,264, turning the next $10K band into a $3.1B liquidation minefield for traders.

Bitcoin ($BTC) is once again wedged between two large liquidation clusters, with leverage stacked just below and above current levels on major derivatives venues. According to the latest liquidation‑levels data from derivatives analytics platform Coinglass, “if $BTC falls below $73,610, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $2.221 billion,” while “if $BTC breaks above $81,264, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $913 million.”

Coinglass maps new $BTC liquidation walls

Coinglass explains that its Bitcoin liquidation heatmap and liquidation‑levels indicator are designed to “estimate price ranges where large‑scale liquidation events may occur” by aggregating high‑leverage long and short clusters across futures and perpetual swaps. The firm stresses that the bars on its heatmap represent relative “intensity” rather than an exact dollar amount guaranteed to be wiped out, but notes that once price collides with a dense band, forced selling or buying can “cause sharp price movements and significantly impact traders’ positions.”

In a recent analysis highlighted by crypto.news, Coinglass’ Bitcoin liquidation map showed a similar setup lower down the chart, with a $1.143 billion long wall below $65,000 and a $754 million short pocket above $68,000, creating nearly $1.9 billion of potential forced flow in a narrow band. At that time, the platform described these areas as “sensitivity zones” that can turn a modest 5–7% move into a disproportionate liquidation cascade as exchanges automatically close margined positions.

Data shows the crypto Fear & Greed Index is still inside the extreme fear territory despite the recovery that Bitcoin and other coins have made.

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Still Pointing At ‘Extreme Fear’
The “Fear & Greed Index” is an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The index takes into account for the data of the following five factors to determine the investor mentality: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google Trends.

To represent the market sentiment, the metric makes use of a numerical scale running from zero to hundred. All values on this scale that lie below 47 correspond to a net sentiment of fear, while those above 53 suggest the dominance of greed among investors. Naturally, the values lying between these two cutoffs imply a neutral mentality.

Besides these three main zones, there are also two ‘extreme’ regions called the extreme fear (25 and under) and extreme greed (above 75). Historically, these two have held significance for the market as they have been where major tops and bottoms have tended to form.

The relationship between prices and sentiment has been an inverse one, however, with tops appearing during extreme greed and bottoms alongside extreme fear.

Recently, the crypto sector has been stuck in the latter of the two, as the below chart shows.


How the Fear & Greed Index has changed over the past year | Source: Alternative
The long stay in the extreme fear zone has been a consequence of the bearish action that Bitcoin and other assets have faced since Q4 2025. In mid-March, BTC’s recovery to $75,000 meant that the market saw a temporary respite from rock-bottom sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index surging to a peak of 28. After the BTC rally fizzled ou

France's finance minister calls for more euro stablecoins in sign of government policy shift


Europe needs more euro-issued stablecoins and banks across the European Union (EU) countries must explore tokenized deposits, French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said Friday, according to Reuters.

The statements signal a potential shift in stance within the French government and its central bank.

Lescure expressed support for Qivalis, a group of 12 European banks, including BBVA, ING, UniCredit and BNP Paribas, that are set to launch a euro-pegged stablecoin ‌in ⁠the second half of 2026, in a move they hope will counter U.S. dominance in digital payments.

"That is what we need and that is what we want." Lescure said. "I also strongly encourage banks to further explore the launch of tokenised deposits."

He also said that the relatively small volume of euro-pegged stablecoins compared to dollar-pegged ones was "not satisfactory".

Former Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire spearheaded a strict regulatory stance against privately-issued fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies, saying they “had no place on European soil” and were a threat to “the sovereignty of nations.” And in 2023, La Maire was linked to a EU document revealing the European Commission’s plan to halt stablecoins from becoming widely used in place of fiat currency.

More recently, during a live confrontation with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong over stablecoins and yields, Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau warned that stablecoins and tokenized private money could accelerate what he framed as a political threat. “The first threat is privatization of money, and loss of monetary sovereignty,” he added.
