Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In a pure form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins, and in alluvial deposits.

WTI:GOLD comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entirely outside the entire world of currencies, not just USD itself! Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop on crude price in Gold bars is on a relative basis… needless to say this is a generational low. the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…
The “Global Price” of Gold, this ratio compared Gold to the entire basket of USD currencies. As I have proved earlier this year Gold had already broken the DXY ratio relationship, and this usually happens at major peaks of this ratio (hence why it breaks). If you notice this peak was at a lower level of 22:1
The Gold / Bitcoin Ratio is an excellent relative basis analytical tool you can use to calculate either future Bitcoin or Gold prices by “triangulating” the ratio, on the chart patterns, with actual price action of one of the two potential underlying asset classes.

The gold-silver ratio, also known as the mint ratio, refers to the relative value of an ounce of silver to an equal weight of gold. Put simply, it is the quantity of silver in ounces needed to buy a single ounce of gold. Traders can use it to diversify the amount of precious metal they hold in their portfolio.
