JPMorgan: Bitcoin could outperform gold if ETF hedging declines

  • Short interest in IBIT is at a yearly high, while in GLD it is below the historical average
  • Gold ETFs have recovered all 2026 outflows, while Bitcoin ETFs have recovered only about half
  • BTC at $78,100, above the 200-day EMA; key level at $82,300
  • A break above $82,300 would target $98,300 next; otherwise the range is $70,000–82,000
Why it matters: Reduced hedging in Bitcoin ETFs could give BTC an edge over gold and trigger a rally if $82,300 is broken.
