Jan 28, 2026	BTC	WATCH	Bitcoin is underperforming Gold significantly. Edwards attributes this to the "Quantum Threat"—the non-zero chance quantum computers break BTC encryption before 2028. Institutional capital is hesitant to allocate to a "store of value" that has a theoretical existential threat. Until a concrete roadmap (hard fork/upgrade) is agreed upon to quantum-proof the network, price upside is capped. Neutral/Watch. A massive re-pricing upwards will occur only after a technical roadmap is announced. Quantum computing advances faster than the network can upgrade (catastrophic failure).

Jan 28, 2026	GOLD	LONG	Central banks (specifically China) are stacking gold to diversify away from the USD. Historically, when Gold breaks out relative to the S&P 500, it runs for years. The current move is structural, not just cyclical. If Gold repeats historical decade-long cycles (like the 1970s or 2000s), the average upside is ~150% from breakout levels, implying a price target of $12,000. Long physical gold for a multi-year hold. A resolution to geopolitical tension or a resurgence of the USD as the only safe haven.
