PANews reported on January 31 that, according to The Block, JPMorgan analysts stated that Bitcoin futures appear to be oversold, while gold and silver futures have entered overbought territory, as investors across both retail and institutional channels increasingly favor precious metals over Bitcoin.

Despite short-term risks for precious metals, analysts remain optimistic about gold's long-term prospects. They note that both private investors and central banks are consistently increasing their gold holdings. Analysts reiterate that assuming households continue to use gold as a hedge against equities instead of long-term bonds, private investor gold holdings could rise from the current slightly over 3% to approximately 4.6% in the coming years. In this scenario, analysts believe the theoretical price range for gold could reach $8,000 to $8,500 per ounce.
